Rosenthal, Amy Krouse. Duck! Rabbit! Chronicle Books LLC: 2009. ISBN: 9780811868655.
Duck! Rabbit! takes one image throughout the story and creates two different animal representations. It has a feel similar to Mo Willems’, Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, as the story is told through two people’s conversation. These two people are fighting between whether or not they see a duck or a rabbit. They each see the animal doing things that help to reinforce why they believe it is either a duck or a rabbit. By the end of the story, they switch opinions and believe the image is the opposite from in the beginning. Then, just when you think the book ends a new image is presented. Now they have to try to figure out if this is an anteater or a brachiosaurus. This book’s “illustrations were rendered in ink, watercolor, and a wee bit of colored pencil”. Each image was presented so simple, yet had enough detail to really accent the author’s writing in a beneficial manner.
