Duck in the Truck -

With a nod to Dr. Seuss and a wink to John Burningham, Jez Alborough deals an irresistible lesson in rhyme and analogy, as well as storytelling, which is hugely entertaining. ‘Child Education’ -

Alborough’s pictures are addictive, combining graphic simplicity with painterly qualities… Duck in the Truck is a picture book where rhyme, illustration, wit and inventiveness combine to produce outstanding quality. ‘TES Primary’ -

Fix-It Duck -

Alborough’s text is perfect for reading out loud and the mix of close-up and panoramic illustrations give an animated, live-action feel. ‘Junior’ -

Colourful, arresting and bursting with action. ‘Child Education’ -

Alborough’s illustrations are big and bold… the rhythmic text is a jaunty delight and brilliant for reading aloud. ‘The Guardian’ -
