Young Readers to Meet a Quackless But Talking Duck

Princeton, MO (Vocus) August 17, 2010

Bringing fun to every bookshelf, author Jane Lowrey-Christian treats readers with the first installation from the seven exciting books of the Quackless Duck series. Her picture book released through Xlibris, Quackless Duck and His Secret Pals: How They Solve Their Problem begins the adventures of a yellow rubber duck that demonstrates human emotions.

Quackless Duck is a rubber duck gifted with the ability to talk to his animal friends in the forest. He lives in a nice big tub owned by human beings, a place where he is pampered and cared for. When the family goes out, his secret pals would come to visit and play with him.

One day, while the humans are out, his two bear friends come to join him in the tub. As they jump from the bathroom window to the tub, Quackless Duck is splashed out from the tub and lands to the wet floor. The bears call their mom to help them fix their mess, and immediately leave as soon as they hear human voices outside the house. Now alone, Quackless Duck realizes he is still outside the bathtub. He is now thinking about how to explain it to the humans – when he could only talk to animals. Can he still keep the visits of his animal pals a secret?

With illustrations done by the author herself, this colorful children’s book enables families to have an enjoyable time spent as parents can discuss the lessons taught with their kids. Kids, on the other hand, will enjoy the world of fantasy with this charming tale.

Quackless Duck and His Secret Pals: How They Solve Their Problem be featured in the 2010 Beijing International Book Fair Book Exhibit in Beijing, China, on September 02-06, 2010. Readers who wish to learn more about this book can log on to Xlibris.com.
