Duck wants to join a club. But he needs to be able to ROAR to join Lion Club, or TRUMPET to join Elephant Club. And all he can do is QUACK! What’s a Duck to do? Why, set up his own club of course… where everyone is welcome to join! With a laugh-out-loud text from John Kelly and brilliantly quirky illustrations by Steph Laberis, Can I Join Your Club? is a heart-warming story which celebrates the importance of diversity and friendship. Perfect for little ones who are learning to make friends at a new school or nursery.

I learned that you don’t need to be in everyone else’s club sometimes you have to start your own club. Also, it you should be nice to people.

This is a good book. It shows that you don't have to be the same as everyone else and that it's OK to be different.

It was a good book because I loved how the animals made different noises and when the duck tried everything ended with Quack and that was funny. I loved the snack as it one of my favourite animals. I would recommend the book to my family and friends.
