"Sound effects and hand-lettered asides amplify the outlandish humor of this romp. A tasty tidbit." -Publishers Weekly

 

Slonim's story in his first solo effort is simple, jokey, and silly.  The reed pen and watercolor illustrations are dynamic and endearingly loopy.

- Kirkus Reviews

 

With sly cartoon illustrations delineating plenty of ammusing action on every part of each and every page.

- Reed Business Information

 

Connoisseurs of the madcap can only hope for more in this vein from Slonim in the future.

Oh Ducky!

 

Ever make a mistake that turned out for the best? 

 

Take one candy machine, one nutty inventor, one handyman, and one rubber duck. Mix well with chocolate and—Ohhhhhhh, Ducky!—you have one delicious adventure.


When a rubber duck gets stuck in the chocolate-making machine, Mr. Peters dons his diving suit to investigate the pipes and swims through chocolate sharks, ships and sea chests to save the day. Children—and grown-ups, too—will find David Slonim's wacky story and goofy characters irresistible.
