Little Quack may be familiar to some kids and he is a typical "boy." In this "Super Chubby" board book, kids learn the alphabet while also exploring Little Quack's world. His habitat includes creatures that are around him like and ants and those that are noticed by others like the butterfly which his brother Widdle spies. The letters of the alphabet are printed in a different color to make them stand out on the page. 

The text is not just a hodgepodge of things; it has a story line as we spend a day with Quack. Everything appears to be the sorts of things Little Quack and his siblings would see—a caterpillar, flower, grass, ladybug, mama, nest and closing with a big yawn and "five sleepy ducklings ...zzzzzz!" Thompson provides an easy way to review the alphabet in a book that will surely be read many times with kids and parents pointing to the letters.
