A bunch of animals joyfully calling out their animal sounds are caught off guard when Duck says “meow.” Much prodding by an unusual menagerie (“‘Grunt!’ says Yak”) cannot convince Duck to quack. Duck’s mama surely can teach Duck what to say; in a heartwarming conclusion it’s revealed that she, a cat, already has. Bright, simple drawings with whimsical details add to the light humor.
