Grumpy Duck by Joyce Dunbar
Can anyone cheer up Grumpy Duck? A funny farmyard tale illustrated by the award-winning Petr Horacek. Duck is grumpy. The pond is dry and, even worse, there's a grey cloud following her around. Can any of Duck's friends cheer her up? A funny farmyard tale about friendship from Joyce Dunbar, illustrated by award-winning artist Petr Horacek with his trademark colourful flair.Joyce Dunbar spent several years teaching literature to adults. Then, at the age of thirty-five, she decided to fulfil her childhood dream of writing and hasn’t looked back. She has had several books published by Walker Books including Baby Bird, Gander’s Pond, Panda’s New Toy, The Secret Friend, Shoe Baby and Tutti Frutti. Joyce lives in Norwich.
Petr Horacek's bold and imaginative illustrations continue to captivate children and critics. His stories, often about loyalty and belonging, are told with an instinctive warmth and humour and are beautifully brought to life through his evocative use of colour and texture. He has won many awards around the world for classics such as Suzy Goose and A New House for Mouse and was shortlisted for the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal in 2012.
