This is a beautifully illustrated and beautifully written little book. There are three chapters: the first is where we meet the boy called Henry; the second is where we meet the duck, and the third is where they meet each other.
It’s funny. It has some great lines in it – “Woof” said the duck. The drawings are also funny. Seeing the duck’s house stuck high on a hill is funny the way it is drawn. And all the pictures use clean lines just like on the cover, and are all in colour although a limited pallet is used. Hence the pictures are not too complicated for what they are which adds to their beauty.
There are even extras to this book too. So you can read the story straight through, or you can read all the additional stuff, like the bits next to the advert in the newspaper that is relevant to the story, or all the plaques beneath all the pictures that are on the wall in one picture.
As a package it is beautiful, although short at about 10-minutes in length.
(I got this book through Amazon Vine. It is listed here.)
