More surreal, anarchic farmyard fun from Cronin and Lewin. This one is almost as funny as Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type and the ink and watercolour illustrations are great. Quacking stuff!Watch out for that duck, though... He's a sly one.

Read this in Storytime and the children and I had fun guessing what silliness the duck would do next.

This book confirms what you probably already know: ducks are jerks. You think you can go on vacation, but no. Soon they are launching an insurrection, trying to overthrow the proxy you left in place and bankrupting you with lavish movie and pizza parties while their piggish friends literally bath themselves in luxuries at your expense. Ducks, man. Ducks.

I think even if one hasn't read the other Duck books, they'll get the humor from this. (Though there are tidbits missed if you don't know/remember why the cows have electric blankets, or why the farmer says to keep any eye on duck.) Still, humorous to see what the duck changes and the giggling that happens. So much like with a substitute teacher....6/8/16 Used in Q is for... theme. Went well. The kids liked the pictures. One boy who knew the book kept tring to show off by telling ahead of time,

When you have a duck in your farm and you plan to go on a vacation, leaving your brother in charge of everything, what you don't know is that your tricky duck can make your brother do all that it wants in no time! From throwing regal pizza parties to conducting spectacular movie watching sessions, your duck can do all of it. You didn't know that, did you?

From the creators of Click Clack Moo: Cows that Type, the great team Cronin and Lewin have come out with an another equally great, ‘sequelish’ piece of children’s literature. In this book, Farmer Brown is going on vacation leaving his brother in charge of the farm. Instructed to follow the directions left in Farmer Brown’s notes, Bob follows suit, not knowing the Duck has surreptitiously replaced all of Farmer Brown’s notes with his own. Bob is instructed to order pizza for the animals, give the...

This sequel to "Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that type" is also engaging and fun. The premise is that Duck, (the former mediator) is now influencing things for his own benefit when the farmer goes on vacation and leaves his brother, Bob, in charge.A delightful read, that possesses a bit less zip than the last book simply because the concept is no longer new (having been done in the previous book). A great book to check out from the library

I give this 4 stars because my husband and kids love these books so much. I don't love them quite as much, but Daddy and the kids sure do get a kick out of them!!

I really enjoyed this fun little book! I love how they mentioned that Duck was such a troublemaker because if you have read the other books in this series you would know! I love how they made the parody of sound of music with sound of moosic! The duck is all doing what the animals feel what they deserve so I guess it is a good thing they are getting pampered while Farmer Brown is away!

Children's bookVery short, loads of fun! Highly recommend. Great book for a "Q" title challenge. I read this needing a book originally published in 2002. A very short book!

This book sends my 3-year old granddaughter into fits of giggles and she'll probably always look at ducks with distrust now. She was able to grasp the concept of the story: that some of the narration came from notes, and that the notes were not written by the farmer. She loves sneaky little animals, and this duck is the sneakiest.It's great fun and I don't mind reading it over and over again. This gets 5+ stars from both of us.

Andrea Thomas11/12/17Text to Teaching ConnectionWhat a cute and funny little book. This is a great book to help the children know what animals are on a farm and what a farmer does while he is taking care of his farm on a daily basics. A good song to sing will be Farmer in the Dell and allow all of the children to pick a certain animal in which they like. Also we allow the children to walk around and pretend to be the animal in which they like the most. We will also discuss how each animal lives

I absolutely love the Farmer Brown books by Cronin. They are so much fun to read aloud. The kids really get into the action words, in this case “giggle, giggle”. But the duck is to be watched closely because if not, you just might have a barnyard that gets pizza delivered, and have to watch the Sound of Moosic. Super fun as always.

This is a funny and entertaining book for readers in the younger years of elementary school! It gives life and personality to all the different animals living on Farmer Browns farm! Farmer Brown has to live and puts his brother in charge of the animals, warning him in advance about the mischievous duck! As Bob, Farmer Browns brother, is doing his very unique chore list for the animals he starts to think something may be up. Little did he know the duck had made a chore list to benefit all the ani...

Farmer Brown and his independent-minded animals return in this hilarious follow-up to Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type , where they made their debut. As the farmer prepares to go on his vacation, he leaves instructions for his brother Bob on how to care for the animals, little dreaming that scheming Duck has taken a hand in matters, substituting his own instructions. Soon the animals are enjoying pizza parties, bubble baths, and movie night...Like its predecessor, Giggle, Giggle, Quack pairs...

My kids and I love these books! Very creative.

Giggle Giggle Quack by Doreen Cronin, illustrated by Betsy Lewin is a follow-up to Click Clack Moo: Cows That Type by the same team. Farmer Brown leaves his brother Bob in charges of the farm while he goes on holiday. He leaves detailed instructions and advises Bob: 'But keep an eye on Duck. He's trouble.' Duck has a pencil and hijinks ensue involving pizza, bubble baths, and movies. The text is funny and silly. There are opportunities for audience participation in the Giggle, Giggle phrases. Th...

“Giggle, Giggle, Quack” takes place on Farmer Brown’s farm. His brother Bob comes to take care of the animals when Farmer Brown goes on vacation. The animals leave notes that trick Bob into doing things they want such as ordering pizza and giving them baths in the house. In the end Farmer Brown is upset when he figures out what is happening. This book is a picture book because it has pictures on each page and little text. The pictures are integral to the story. This book is most appropriate for

Another cute Doreen Cronin Duck book. I have to admit that this duck is charming with all of his troublemaking ways. Julia got the biggest kick out of him carrying around his pencil for the whole book. I liked how fast she grasped that it wasn't the farmers notes Bob was reading but Duck's. She picked up on this a few seconds after I did which surprised me. Duck is really a lovable character and Betsy Lewin's illustrations are pretty cool too. Very kid friendly and Julia loves that as well.
