What to expect
'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?!

An hilarious exploration of the alphabet

A quacking read aloud, a fun introduction to vowels and a brilliant way of showing children they need to be flexible in their approach to letters and sounds.

The Bookbag

From the creators of the excellent 'Oi, Frog', this is a must-have book for class libraries to share with children who are learning to read and write. ...Jim Field's illustrations work brilliantly for this story - but be warned, you'll need to practice before attempting to read it aloud!

This picture book is based on a clever idea for helping emergent readers understand the connection between sounds and letters ... Jim Field's comical animal caricatures, bold and definite against brightly coloured backgrounds, make this learning journey a humorous pleasure.
