Bookroo's summary

Quentin the duck faces a peculiar problem—his quack is missing an 'A', leaving him with a quick 'QUCK'. As he searches for a replacement, he discovers that apes, snakes, and pandas are unwilling to part with theirs. Will Quentin ever restore his quack, or is he destined to quack without an 'A' forever? Join Quentin on a whimsical journey that teaches about vowels and the quirks of animal language.

From the publisher

From the creators of the bestselling Oi Frog! Frog comes an hilarious tale about one duck’s quest for a missing vowel! Quentin was a duck with a very quick quack. ‘QUCK!’ said Quentin. ‘What’s wrong with me?’ Quentin’s quack has lost its A. Do any of the other animals have one to spare? Not likely! APES don’t want to be PES. SNAKES don’t want to be SNKES. PANDAS don’t want to be PNDAS or even PANDS. Will Quentin be stuck with a very quick QUCK?! Brilliant for reading out loud and teaching children about vowels and animals.
