A New Yorker cartoonist makes his children's book debut with this delightful early reader graphic novel featuring a hapless duck, an anxious cat, and some very hungry crocodiles. What could be better than a boat ride with your best friend on a perfect summer day?
Little do Duck and Cat know that the other passengers on board the riverboat include a family of hungry crocodiles. Duck pays them no mind, but Cat knows a threat when he sees one. When dinner gets canceled, the duo must spring into action to make sure they don't end up on the menu instead!
This playful early reader comic has irresistible characters and a boatload of visual humor to support emerging readers. With timeless art reminiscent of the great James Marshall, kids will love the slapstick hijinks of Duck and Cat.
I Like to Read Comics(R) are perfect for kids who are challenged by or unengaged in reading, kids who love art, and the growing number of young comics fans. Filled with eye-catching art, humor, and terrific stories, these comics provide unique reading experiences for growing minds. I Like to Read Comics(R), like their award-winning I Like to Read(R) counterpart, are created by celebrated artists and support reading comprehension to transform children into lifelong readers. We hope that all new readers will say, "I like to read comics!"
