Overview: Mrs. Quack is a newcomer to the Smiling Pool. While there, she regales Peter Rabbit and Jerry Muskrat with her harrowing tale, filled with hunters. Afterwards they find that she has a few problems. Where can Mrs. Quack live safely? What happened to Mr. Quack. Will they ever be reunited? Let’s find out.
Story Telling: This is a children’s chapter book.
Dislikes: My only problem is the characterization of the hunters. Most hunters eat their kills. Trophy hunting is a rather recent phenomenon. When you have a limited amount of time for hunting wild game, you get what you can, then preserve it for latter enjoyment.
Likes: There are good messages about marriage and friendships in this book. Peter and Jerry were willing to help Mrs. Quack, even at the risk to themselves.
Favorite Character: It’s Mr. Quack.
Conclusion: This was a rather fun story. Enjoy it with your little forest friends.
