 ... you get the feeling this is going to be a trend throughout, despite the fact that the story hasn't even started. Basically, the tale is of Mucky Ducky, who longs to dive in the mud.

They're actually unique in that they're done in an odd way. I think (if art class memory serves me right) that they're done by floating ink over water then lying the paper on it. The result is a chaotic mix of colour unlike anything I've seen in a kids book before. Not every page is like this, but enough to make it ...  Read the complete review
