A very offbeat and funny little story. My girls (ages 5 & 3) thought it was a hoot - as did their parents. Defintely a book we'll be reading again and again.

I just picked it up today to read it to my twins and while they're entertained by me reading it, I totally love reading it to them! This is a beautifully illustrated book with a cute story ~~ we all should accept one another even if we are different.

Hodges' duck is annoying but one Friday night, when three Tigers came in, the duck counter them with his own challenge after every insult that the Tigers give out. Then a food fight melee breaks out ~~ and that is when the Tigers realized that hey, food doesn't have to be pigs or elephants or even ducks! Hodges' cooking and his duck save the day.

It is a very entertaining book and very cute. It is going to be a definite bedtime story for these guys from now on!

Tom Eagan might just be my favorite children's author currently writing. I love this book; I adore his Dodsworth series; I am looking forward to good things coming from him in the future.

My 5-year-old son and I have enjoyed this book very much over the years. It's a great story and it's easy to do fun voices with the duck and the tigers.

Tim Egan is without a doubt on his way to the top!! I've purchased all his books for my niece and will continue to do so..

Thank you Tim for bringing so much pleasure into children's lifes. The word is out that your next book will hit huge.....
