Learn about the Pacific Northwest's most unique shellfish in this hilarious account of mistaken identity.

Learn about the Pacific Northwest's most unique shellfish in this hilarious account of mistaken identity.

In this fun and engaging graphic novel picture book mashup, a beachside breaking news story clues the audience into a dramatic development- there's a gooey duck on the loose!

As the report goes on, it becomes clear to the audience that the news reporter doesn't realize his story isn't about a duck covered in goo but is instead about the world's largest burrowing clam, a geoduck (pronounced gooey duck).

This story of mistaken identity is full of more twists and turns than a rough day at sea and will have everyone laughing as the reporter slowly uncovers the truth about the geoduck.

The book also includes fun facts about geoducks.

Reviews for A Geoduck Is Not a Duck: A Story of a Unique Pacific Northwest Mollusk

"""I’ll wager that kids who can read for themselves will find it a favorite. And the kids who can’t read will be asking an adult to read it again and again and again.""--Jilanne Hoffman"
