First sentence: I am a cat. Meow. You are not a cat. You are a duck. Quack, quack.

Premise/plot: A cat and a duck quibble and fuss. Duck is definitely getting on Cat's last nerve. Duck insists that *today* he is a cat. Yesterday Duck was something else. Tomorrow Duck may be something else. But Duck is a cat...today...and insists on following Cat around.

My thoughts: Cat definitely had decided opinions on what is "regular." Cats meow. Ducks quack. End of story. Cats cannot be ducks. Ducks cannot be cats. And Cat doesn't have time for nonsense. Perhaps if Duck wasn't so insistent at being glued to his side. If Duck had gone away, far, far, away then would Cat have cared if this Duck wanted to meow? Maybe. Maybe not.

I liked this one okay. It was silly. It had humor. It's an early reader with speech bubbles. ( )

An actual cat grows increasingly frustrated with a duck pretending to be a cat. The duck's vivid imagination allows it to pretend to be many creatures, meowing like a cat, squawking like a parrot, and mooing like a cow. All text is dialogue in speech bubbles. ( )

This is a fun story where the cat is trying to explain to the duck he is indeed a duck--not a cat! Duck spends his time pretending he is different animals. Can be a fun book to show children they can be anything they strive to be, even if it's just pretend. ( )

This book goes to show that you can be whatever you want. The silly duck insists he is many different animals such as: a cat, a squirrel and even a parrot. This really bothers the cat, who constantly keeps trying to bring the duck to "reality". I think this book is trying to let kids know that is it okay to be different; you don't have to be the duck that quacks. Be the duck that moos. ( )
