“A boy lists the many things he can do with a duck: use him as a hat, a nose, a whistle, or a straw. It's a sweet, funny, straightforward list ... until you flip the book over and discover that It's Useful to Have a Boy. Now, it's the duck's turn to report on everything the boy mentioned, but with a wonderful, ducky spin. This offbeat book, with funny illustrations by Argentine author/illustrator Isol, gets you thinking about seeing what seems to be the same thing from quite different points of view.”
