Illustrated by
Brian T. Jones.
Zoo duck Quackenstein longs for a family. He cares for an abandoned egg, and out pops what looks to him like a scary monster (actually a platypus). Quackenstein's grumpiness is a novelty in a book with a warm-and-fuzzy theme. Bardhan-Quallen's rhymes march in lockstep--think Dr. Seuss starring Oscar the Grouch--while Jones expertly juggles the book's tender, humorous, and spooky elements.
