Just Ducks
Author: Nicola Davies
Illustrator: Salvatore Rubbino
Publisher: Walker
Lovely smudgy illustrations using a colour palette which is predominantly green, brown and blue convey an appropriately watery feel for this picture book all about mallard ducks and their habits. The narrative is in the voice of a child who describes her discoveries about these birds as she observes them on her way to and from school throughout the year. As in all the Nature Storybooks series, there are gobbets of additional information in a different font on each spread.
