Illustrated by
Edwin Fotheringham.
Monkey desperately tries to get Duck to make some rhymes with him, but every attempt is met with a "quack." Frustrated, Monkey realizes their only chance to win the rhyming contest is to choose conducive words (track, blackjack, yak, etc.). Occasionally uneven in meter, the text closes with a chuckle-producing twist. Appealing digital illustrations exude Monkey's enthusiasm and Duck's coolness.
