Have you ever been in a staring contest?
The Picture Book of the Week is The Duck Never Blinks, written and illustrated by Alex Latimer.
About the Book:
The Duck Never Blinks is an interactive book that asks the reader trying to make the duck blink by shouting, telling sad stories, tricking the duck, and much, much more. This book is definitely meant to be read aloud as kids will enjoy joining in with the narrator’s mission.
I love picture books about ducks, especially the ones that put a twist on traditional plots. Anyone who has ever been obsessed with an outcome will relate.
