A duckling happens upon a book: "Where are the pictures?!" A bug asks: "Can you read it?" As it happens, the book is so engrossing that the duck can't take its eyes off the page; only the bug (and readers) notice Ruzzier's pen, ink, and watercolor landscapes reflecting the duck's book-sparked revelations. A beguiling pitch for reading--magic that turns words into pictures.
