Mucky Duck
Sally Grindley, Neal Layton
Mucky Duck is a very special duck – he likes painting, cooking, playing football…and he also likes getting VERY MUCKY! And one way or another he always seems to get his friend Oliver very mucky too. Children will love the repetitive line ‘O you Mucky Duck!’ that appears frequently within the pages. And Neal Layton has used collage to great effect to create some really messy pages…our only advice is to dive right in. Perfect for reading aloud. Sally Grindley is the author of over 30 books for children and has had an astonishing four of her books short-listed for the Smarties prize. Her previous books for Bloomsbury include Who is It?, Where are my Chicks, A New Room for William and the newly-published The Sulky Vulture illustrated by Michael Terry. Sally lives in Gloucestershire. Neal Layton is an astounding talent in children’s illustration. His first picture book was The Photo and his second for Bloomsbury, Rover, with Michael Rosen has been a huge success worldwide. He is currently illustrating the forthcoming Wicked Poems selected by Roger McGough, and is a talent to watch. Neal lives in Glasgow.

I think this book was really funny when Mucky Duck got really messy. I wish I could have a duck as a pet. Mucky Ducky had a bath but he didn't brush his teeth or brush his hair.

I liked mucky duck the best. She is mucky, cute/adorable, friendly and sweet. I reccomend it to crafters and animal lovers.

Good for ages 3-6 but but it being so short and me being older it gives it a lower rating
