From the publisher

“A ‘quacker-jack’ addition to a duck- or fox-themed storytime.” –BCCB “Large word bubbles make reading easy…Don’t be outfoxed. Get quacking and buy this book.” –School Library Journal Quack, quack–woof? A quick-thinking duck keeps a fox on his toes in this witty romp from a New Yorker cartoonist. One dark night in the henhouse, a hungry fox in search of his dinner gets more than he bargains for. Instead of a chicken, Fox grabs a duck. A very smart duck. A duck so sly, he plans to convince Fox that he isn’t a duck but a–dog! Yes, a dog. This clever story and its accompanying visual narrative will delight readers young and old–because if it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, it HAS to be a duck…right?
