Mucky Duck

(3) PS Illustrated by Neal Layton. The reason why Mucky Duck is sometimes white but "mostly she wasn't" is because she enthusiastically joins in when Oliver, a boy, cooks, plays soccer, paints, and gardens. The book's refrain is "Oh you Mucky Duck," but the sure-to-please visual joke is that the boy is, of course, every bit as mucky as the duck. Ebulliently mess-spattered pictures capture the joy of working and playing hard with a friend.
