Jez Alborough Hit the Ball Duck; illus. by Jez Alborough. Unpaged/ Kane/Miller Book Publishers 2006 ISBN-13: 978-1-929132-96-6 $15.95 (Primary)
In the picture book Hit the Ball Duck, Alborough departs from his flap books to create a riveting fictional story about animals that want to play baseball, but everything goes wrong. Alborough rhymes throughout the story to make the story flow and bounce. Readers will enjoy the color-drenched, vibrant illustrations that enhance the storyline by drawing the audience into the world of the animals. Full-page spreads and borders produce originality in the pictures. Overall, Albourough generates an invigorating piece of work.
