Plot

[edit]

The book has phrases that start with each letter of the alphabet. It tells the story of a Duck-led summer outing that includes the cows from Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type. When Duck rides his wagon, the readers go through the ABCs. The animals stop at a good place to have a picnic.

Reception

[edit]

A Publishers Weekly review says, "Lewin's loose, thickly outlined watercolors keep readers in playful suspense along the way, dropping visual hints for eagle-eye observers. Her sunny depictions of this barnyard bunch brim with personality and humorous detail".[1] A Kirkus Reviews review says, " Lewin's brush and watercolor illustrations are as loose and lively as ever, barely restrained by the A-to-Z format that juxtaposes a big lowercase letter with each visual vignette".[2] A School Library Journal review says, "A delightfully daffy romp with kid appeal galore".[3]
