Duck in the Truck

by Jez Alborough

As Duck is driving home his truck gets stuck in the mud. Frog and Sheep come to his aid, but it's only when Goat arrives that a solution is found. This is a very funny tale where the amusing illustrations virtually spring out of every page. A perfect picture book for reading aloud and for sharing.

    Jez Alborough was born and grew up in Kingston-upon-Thames. He loved drawing and painting from an early age and always wanted to be an artist. 'I used to love the exercise books which had one blank page opposite one lined page. It was like an invitation to me to write a story and draw the illustrations.' Jez didn't much like secondary school, but going to art college in Norwich was a much happier experience: 'It felt like freedom. Having the time and space to do what I wanted to do was so uplifting. 'He graduated with a BA Honours degree in Graphic Design.

Duck in a Truck never fails to make my 3 year old daughter laugh. What is so lovely about the book is the balance of amusing rhyme and pictures. We just love it!!
