“Repetition, clever artwork, and the idea of teamwork will appeal to a young audience.” - Booklist
"“Duck is Stuck” is the tale of a duck who fell asleep and woke up with his legs stuck in a frozen pond. The story teaches children about friendship and the power of teamwork. Zoubida Mouhssin doesn’t patronize the audience and doesn’t ignore the fact that it is pretty strange for a duck to get frozen into a pond. Overall, this book is a good choice for kids between the ages of 3 and 7." - Lea Bickerton - Bookseller
