Duck and Moose: Duck in the Dark!

Description

Fans of Narwhal and Jelly and Chick and Brain will love this laugh-out-loud early graphic novel series in which Duck and Moose will need to put their differences aside to learn to live with each other and maybe even become friends.

The third book in a laugh-out-loud early graphic novel series perfect for fans of Narwhal and Jelly! Quiet-loving Moose’s life is turned upside down by free-wheeling Duck. The two will need to put their differences aside if they’re ever going to be neighbors…or friends!

Duck learns the hard way that winter in Denali means that nighttime comes much earlier than he’s used to. This is a problem because Duck is “not so much but also probably okay very afraid” of the dark! With some help from Moose and the Aurora Borealis, will Duck realize that he doesn’t need to be scared? 

Filled with zany hijinks and slapstick humor, Kirk Reedstrom’s Duck and Moose series showcases unlikely friendships and the power of compromise. Praise for Duck and Moose: Duck Moves In!:
* “What moves this graphic novel past the traditional narrative of the odd couple are the illustrations that show the unique personalities and emotions of the characters….A perfect addition to any library, and the start of a beautiful friendship.”
—Danielle Schwessinger, School Library Journal (starred review)

“…[T]his title is a strong choice for those new to comics. Odd couple animal bros, firmly set in the grand tradition of Frog and Toad.”
—Kirkus

Praise for Duck and Moose: Moose Blasts Off!:
* “Not only will this be a book series kids gravitate towards, but it has extensive opportunities for social-emotional lessons on communication, friendship, flexibility, and emotions. A must-have series that is among the best that graphic novels have to offer.”
—Danielle Schwessinger, School Library Journal (starred review)

“A worthy proposition that effortlessly achieves liftoff.”
