Sitting Ducks

(4) K-3 Bedard tells of an alligator who smuggles a duck out of the duck factory, planning to eat him; surprisingly he finds himself befriending his intended snack. The illustrations, starring ducks with an appealingly vulnerable charm, are more successful than the story, which strives for a deadpan wackiness, but which ends up seeming oddly detached.
