Duck on a Disco Ball (A Duck in the Fridge Book)

Product Description Bedtime has never been so silly! Every night it’s the same old story. A boy wants to stay up late, but his parents won’t let him. But sometimes in the morning, he notices things look a little off―like when he sees a disco ball in the kitchen…with his toy duck on it. So one night he decides to stay up. And that’s when the fun really begins. Silliness builds with each page of this high-energy, pun-filled companion to Duck in the Fridge until the moment when sleep eventually takes hold and morning arrives once more. Review “Mack’s digital pictures mix retro textile prints and boldly outlined, cartoonish depictions of round-eyed humans and animals…Kids may get a kick out of the wacky premise and broad, pun-studded humor.” —Kirkus Reviews “The boy narrates; the duck makes wise-quacks, and the bright, colorful illustrations spill across the pages, especially when showing frenzied shenanigans, which nicely contrast the neat panels that frame the scene when order prevails. This goofy bedtime drama is a worthy sequel to Duck in the Fridge (2014).” —Booklist “Mack’s tongue-in-cheek story centers on a common childhood suspicion—that all the fun is had once the kids go to bed.” —Publishers Weekly “Duck on a Disco Ball is fun, punny, and most of all, gives us grown-ups the chance to wink at our kids when we say that fifteenth good night to our kids. Always leave ’em guessing.” —Mom Read It “A fun story about a child who doesn't want to go to bed.” —GeoLibrarian “…Would make a good story-time read-aloud.” —Youth Services Book Review “Immediately after reading this book, my daughter declared, ‘That was awesome! Let’s read that again! That book is so cool.’ You can’t get a much better review than that from a three-year-old!” —Library Mom “The illustrations are jam-packed with puns and one-liner jokes that kids love. Bright colors and quirky characters add to the fun.” —Batch of Books “This book was a whole lot of fun. It is the perfect bedtime story!” —A Rup Life “Jeff Mack has created a hilarious story with perfect outrageous illustrations that will have young readers giggling as they read funny puns and review everything that’s happening on the pages. Easy-to-read sentences with recognizable objects makes this a perfect read for any beginner.” —Kristi’s Book Nook “But be aware: this book is PUNNY. SO many puns. Kids love them, so it works well in context, but oh man. I definitely groaned internally at a few…A fantastic romp that will delight little readers—even if it may make them want to stay up a little later.” —The Baby Bookworm “A lively and back-slapping companion to Duck in the Fridge, Duck on a Disco Ball will continue the laughter and young children will beg for more Duck shenanigans.” —Beagles and Books About the Author Jeff Mack is the award-winning author and illustrator of Duck in the Fridge; Mine!; Ah Ha!; Good News, Bad News; and the Hippo and Rabbit series.
