K-3Green Light Readers series.
Illustrated by
Ryan Sias.
Friends Woof and Quack defy species expectations: Woof hates fetching (Meet) and Duck won't fly south (Winter). The narratives take place almost entirely in speech bubbles, which incorporate plenty of repetition for beginning readers. Unfortunately, goofy scenarios with humor arising from text-image interplay lose their oomph as Woof and Quack fade against the over-saturated backgrounds. Review covers these Green Light Readers titles: Meet Woof & Quack and Woof & Quack in Winter.
