PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Charlie Alder has illustrated many books for children, including Toot! and Express Yourself! Daredevil Duck is her first authored and illustrated picture book. She lives in Devon, England, with her husband and son, whose exploits on a squeaky red tricycle inspired the creation of her feathered hero. When not drawing ducks, Charlie can be found in her studio drinking coffee, arranging her crayons, and inventing more accidental superheroes. You can visit her at charliealder.com and on Twitter @chuckie346.
The book's ingenious design features several flaps of various shapes and sizes that allow readers to see Daredevil Duck both as he is and as he imagines himself. This device beautifully supports Alder's valuable message about childhood fears. Simple, sweet, and very effective. --Kirkus Reviews With its bright and colorful pictures and inventive use of flaps to entice young readers to turn the page, Daredevil Duck is a fun and appealing book perfect for any daredevil tricycle rider. --BookPage
