(2) K-3 This absurdist version of French folktale "Drakestail" stars a farmer duck who is wealthy in jelly beans. When a little-boy king "borrows" his jelly beans, Duck sets off to get them back. Along the way he makes some odd yet helpful friends. Gerstein's pen-and-ink, acrylic, and colored-pencil illustrations employ a cheerful palette, with scribbly lines and dialogue bubbles.
