About the Author

Meg McKinlay grew up in Bendigo, Victoria, in a book-loving, TV- and car-free household. On the long and winding path to becoming a children’s writer, she has worked a variety of jobs including swim instructor, tour guide, translator and teacher. These days, she lives with her family near the ocean in Fremantle and divides her time between teaching and writing, a balance that swings wildly between chaos and calm.

Industry Reviews
a humorous story with excellent illustrations * Child Blogger *
Duck! is awesome. * AllThingsMomSydney *

Duck! is a humorous picture book story about word play and confusing messages. Young readers will love the silliness of Duck's dilemma - and the other animals' inability to heed the warning as a tornado bears down on them. Picture clues will let readers in on what is happening, and the digital and acrylic illustration are filled with enough humour to make the characters endearing and the situation amusing.

Lots of fun in a story that will be requested again and again.
