A masterpiece of storytelling set within Duck-lore 
Apart from chapter 11's rushed montage quality, none Good rhyming text and lift-the-flap opportunities. Some may miss the traditional chant of 'who's that trip-trapping over my bridge?' Great read Some may think it's only for children Simple, Cleverly Written, Great Illustrations None Interesting idea for a story. Will appeal to teens. Protagonist is a typical, self-indulgent teen.
