|summary=Is it a duck or is it a rabbit? No, it's a fun and quirky picture book that introduces children to a gentle optical illusion. Staying with the ducks, our reviewer loved [[Duck by Janet A Holmes and Jonathan Bentley]] - a gloriously sweet and brilliantly simple tale of a young boy looking for his lost toy. Both text and illustrations are packed with emotion, to make it a must-have for any young child. There's [[The Dudgeon is Coming by Lynley Dodd|another classic]] from Lynley Dodd, the creator of Hairy McLary, with a gentle message that things are not always what they seem. If you'd like a real bargain then it would be hard to do better than [[The Extraordinary Adventures of Mr Benn by David McKee]] with four stories of our intrepid hero. For a modern look at a classic, have a look at [[Jim, Who Ran Away From His Nurse and Was Eaten By A Lion by Hilaire Belloc and Mini Grey]], but if you'd just like a fun book then have a look at [[Jumpy Jack and Googily by Meg Rosoff and Sophie Blackall]]. | |summary=Is it a duck or is it a rabbit?
