With just a dozen-plus words, Luthardt tells the story of a young boy's attachment to a duckling ("peep!") who grows up into a duck ("quack!") and grows away from the boy ("it's time"; "bye bye"). But not to worry: those same few words stretch to cover a happy ending. The book's strength is the directness and speed with which art and minimal text tell the story.
