Duck's Backyard (Paperback): Ulrich Hub Duck's Backyard (Paperback)
Ulrich Hub; Illustrated by Joerg Muhle; Translated by Helena Kirkby
R178 R157 Discovery Miles 1 570 Save R21 (12%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A very funny and philosophical illustrated chapter book by a bestselling author/illustrator pair about courage, true friendship and our most secret wishes, in which a lame duck takes a blind hen on a goose chase as they search for adventure and answers to some big questions. A duck spends her days limping around her backyard with the help of a crutch until one day a blind hen stumbles in, lost, and persuades the duck to embark on an adventurous journey. The duck will guide the hen; the hen will steady the duck's wobbly leg. They leave together for a place where their most secret wishes will come true. The pair come upon astonishing obstacles along the way-a wild forest, a cavernous gorge and many differences of opinion. The hen starts to wish she'd taken a guide dog rather than a duck! When the two finally arrive at their destination after all the hardships, they realize that their own backyard plus a little imagination offers as much adventure as a whole world. From the author/illustrator pair of Meet at the Ark at Eight "Hub's standout debut in English... Delightful and deep." Publishers Weekly, starred review

Snow and ice and ice and snow all around, and nothing for three penguins to do but fight with each other and smell slightly of fish. But are they good penguins or bad penguins? And if they're a bit bad then what's the worst that... What? Building an ark? The whole world is going to be flooded? Well! They should probably get on that ark. Meet at the Ark at Eight is a delight: a funny, odd and strangely moral story of three penguins, a plump,over-worked dove, a beautiful butterfly that may or may not get done in, and aquite apologetic God. ''Extremely funny ... I can only heartily encourage you to read this [book, which] hides real delight and serious philosophizing in between its slim, sensational pages.' Playing by the Book 'An engaging book for practically any age' Spectator Best Children's Authors of 2015 An astonishing book... one of a kind Jewish Chronicle 'Hub manages to recreate the ancient tale with a hilarious twist and keen observations on friendship, how our decisions impact those around us, and of course, religion... Deserves to be read by everyone' Library Mice 'A complete triumph five stars' Ricochet 'A wonderfully funny story which asks many important questions and provides a wealth of clever answers' Lilipuz 'Punchy, funny, brilliantly illustrated' Forum 'Outstandingly funny... deals with the important questions about God and life, without forcing the reader too early to accept concrete answers WERTvolle Bucher 'I have rarely read such an impressive children's book which is as deliciously amusing Kids It's rare to be able to laugh so much while reading a book based on such a serious biblical source' Catholic Children's and YA Award 'Hilarious but strangely profound' Lady 'Questions galore after eight...to make you laugh and think' Alligator's Mouth bookshop, Richmond '5 out of 5 stars' LaChouett 'Bloody marvellous' Sam Leith 'Wonderfully funny, facetious, liberating and at the same time substantial... an unusually fun, thoughtful read for everyone!'Kinderbuch Couch Ulrich Hub is a German writer, actor, director and screenwriter. He has written several plays for children as well as for adults. Meet at the Ark at Eight is his first novel, and has won prizes in Germany, France, The Netherlands and Italy. Ulrich lives in Berlin.
