Quack, quack--woof? A quick-thinking duck keeps a fox on his toes in this witty romp from a New Yorker cartoonist.

One dark night in the henhouse, a hungry fox in search of his dinner gets more than he bargains for. Instead of a chicken, Fox grabs a duck. A very smart duck. A duck so sly, he plans to convince Fox that he isn't a duck but a--dog! Yes, a dog.

This clever story and its accompanying visual narrative will delight readers young and old--because if it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, it HAS to be a duck...right?
