Featured Excerpts from Duck! Rabbit!
(Click on each image below to see a larger view)

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2—Two unseen characters debate the identity of the creature at the center of this clever book—is it a duck or a rabbit? Readers will join in the discussion, because the creature could, in fact, be either. Just as each of the debaters begins to see the other's perspective, the duck/rabbit runs away and they see an anteater. Or is it a brachiosaurus? Text and illustrations are intimately wedded in this fun, interactive read-aloud. The bold lines and bright colors in Lichtenheld's illustrations are a visually pleasing match for the bantering text. With a strong, well-executed concept, this book provides an excellent starting point for discussing how points of view can differ and still be right.—Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Carroll County Public Library, MD

Great for persuasion for teaching or just for fun :)
This book is really fun. I bought this specifically for my third grade class to use for persuasive reading and writing. I used this at the close of their unit, they mostly worked on persuasive letters, so reading this and then writing a persuasive "essay" was a nice change and a challenge to apply their knowledge. The book at first read does not seem like it would work well for third grade as the text is easy and short and simple. I made up a worksheet for them to choose a side and write 5-7 sentences supporting their choice and trying to convince the reader to agree with them. After writing, they had to show me and be approved for moving forward and coloring in te picture at the top to be a duck or rabbit. I attached a picture of the worksheet I made and one completed worksheet that I was able to crop the name out of for privacy. My three year old also likes this book, so it's good for all ages and has many applications. Love it!

I bought this for my 3 year old, however both My 3 and 7 year old boys love this book. It’s been a firm bedtime favourite. We have had it a few weeks and they still change their mind on if it’s a duck or a rabbit.
My 3 year old will read it to me as it’s easy enough for him to remember the story.

Personally I found it very clever and cute. I haven’t got bored of reading it yet. I would definitely recommend

Great little concept, but not developed. Children love to read and reread ( or have read to them) the same story over and over. This book fascinates for a while and then is done. At least that was so with my little grandson.
