Description

From the creators of the bestselling OI FROG! comes an hilarious tale about one duck's quest for a missing vowel!

Quentin was a duck with a very quick quack.

'QUCK!' said Quentin. 'What's wrong with me?'

Quentin's quack has lost its A. Do any of the other animals have one to spare? Not likely! APES don't want to be PES. SNAKES don't want to be SNKES. PANDAS don't want to be PNDAS or even PANDS. Will Quentin be stuck with a very quick QUCK?!

Brilliant for reading out loud and teaching children about vowels and animals.

Praise for OI FROG! also by Kes Gray and Jim Field: 'An absolute treat.' - Daily Mail

Kes Gray is a bestselling, multi award-winning author of more than 70 books for children. He eats Ideaflakes for breakfast, spreads silliness on his toast and lives in a place called Different.

Jim Field is a lead-driven, pencil-pushing, 25-frames-per-second Led Zeppelin fan. He is also a hugely talented illustrator and animation director. His first picture book CATS AHOY! won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize.

OI FROG!, OI DOG! and OI CAT! are a top ten bestselling series. Oi Dog! was shortlisted for the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award and the British Book Awards in 2016, amongst others. It also won the Teach Primary New Children's Fiction Award, MadeForMums Award, Bishop's Stortford Picture Book Award and Portsmouth Picture Book Award. OI CAT! was the Independent Booksellers Children's Book of the Season and OI GOAR! is a World Book Day book in 2018.
