Product Description

Henry the Duck sure gets himself into some sticky situations! Thinking it was a simple task, he volunteers to babysit for his friend Clara.
Children and parents will love following disaster-prone Henry through his adventures in babysitting, cleverly written and illustrated by Robert Quackenbush.
Don't forget to snatch up the other three books in the Henry the Duck Series: Henry's Awful Mistake, Henry's Important Date, and Henry Goes West.
This mini edition is the perfect take-along size; ideal for stocking stuffers, diaper bags, and car companions!


About the Author

Some time ago, Robert Quackenbush received a letter from a young reader who was puzzled by his name. "Are you really a duck?" the letter writer asked. Mr. Quackenbush decided right then and there to write stories about a disaster-prone duck named Henry.
Robert Quackenbush is the author / illustrator of more than 200 books for young readers. He has been awarded honors and prizes for his work, including a gold medal from the Holland Society of New York for distinction in art and literature. His art is in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum and the Smithsonian Institution. It is also on display in the gallery / studio he owns and runs in New York City. The place is fairly quacking with activity for, in addition to creating his books and paintings, Mr. Quackenbush teaches writing and illustrating there to children and adults. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Q: How hard can it be to babysit one sleeping baby?, January 3, 2007
A: A lot harder than Henry the Duck thinks it will be!

It's not literary platinum, yet enjoyable. Henry as usual gets a bit carried away in his circumstances and ends up babysitting a lot more than one sleeping baby! Kids will like the silly story. Parents will recognize the truth about caring for small people--it can be exhausting, even when it doesn't look like you did much that day!

4.0 out of 5 stars It is just the funniest book., February 13, 1998
By A Customer
It is a funny way for a bachelor duck to learn to take care of a baby by neighbors bringing their baby alligator, monkey, cat, and the ducks.
