It's a Duck! No, it's a Rabbit! It's Duck! Rabbit!

OK, now it's your turn to take a good look at the picture on the front of this book, and it's nice and big so you can really study it. The two unseen characters inside are in disagreement. One thinks it's a duck quacking, and the other thinks it's a rabbit sniffing.

"It's a duck. And he's about to eat a pice of bread." "It's a rabbit. And he's about to eat a carrot." They even try investigating through some binoculars, but that doesn't help, either.

So what do you think? Is it a duck? Is it a rabbit?

Amy Crouse Rosenthal (author of Little Pea, Little Hoot, and Little Oink) and Tom Lichtenheld have corroborated on this picture book that show us there's more than one way to look at something.

Mel's life was well-rounded until he tripped one day and fell into another dimension where everything is pointy. No one believes his stories of a pointy world, but he won't give up his tale.

What's the point of this picture book by the always quirky team of Yorinks & Egielski? Is it a pointed satire on our perception of reality? Does it point to our disjointed experience of life? At what point does Mel trip over the line into fantasy?

I don't know. Just enjoy the hilarity of What a Trip! by Arthur Yorinks and Richard Egielski.
