Synopsis

This story, written by 1987 Caldecott-winning author Arthur Yorinks and illustrated with quilts by textile artist Adrienne Yorinks, tells the tale of Quack, a little duck who builds a rocket and takes off for the moon. Once there, he misses his animal friends back on earth and decides to parachute home. Written in "quack" language, this book is great for reading aloud to fledgling duck-lovers everywhere.
