Not at all what I expected.

The illustrations are detailed in a most unusual way. The 'Good Sprog' images are wonderful. However the 'Bad Sprog' images did not overly impress me, to be honest.

Overall, I can easily see that many parents will love this book, as too will their children... however, this is not one I plan to add to my son's library. He wasn't to impressed, and neither was I.

Score: 10.0
Product reviews for listing 7302: Quick Quack Quentin
Author: Kes Gray and Jim Field (illus)

Quentin was a duck with a very quick quck. "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.
