Hodges's pet duck (Friday Night at Hodges' Cafe) is a less-than-ideal travel companion for dapper rat Dodsworth. Egan's witty understatement, along with the urbane watercolor and ink illustrations, documents Dodsworth's wild duck chase through New York City. While following crazy waterfowl might not be everyone's dream vacation, Egan proves you can see a lot of interesting things that way.
