John Kelly (2) (1964–)

I loved this book! The author and the illustrator were very clever with their play on words and dark dramatic irony illustrated on every page. I loved that the reader plays a role in this story. The reader sees the "writing on the wall" so to speak, and the poor Glenda and Horace just cannot see what is painstakingly in front of them! This is a very clever book, and I would love to read more books just like it.

My one complaint is that many of the pages used a grey font on an already dark show more surface, perhaps to create a vicious mood, but it was hard for me to see the words. show less

Duck tried to join the lion club, the snake club, and the elephant club but he did not fit in. He decided to make his own club where everyone is welcomed. Duck approved every application that came his way because you can never have too many friends. I think this is a great story to show that just because someone isn't just like you doesn't mean you can't be friends.

Some pages dark, hard to read for my older eyes, but most were ok, and the story & illustrations were worth it.  Lots of clues for the observant young reader....

Interesting format and the digital illustrations are superb. However, I would have liked to see him gain fame for something he did on purpose-not by accident.
