Sitting Ducks

Imagine you're an alligator. You work in a factory that processes ducks. And you live in a town filled with other alligators who dine exclusively on nice, plump, juicy ducks for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So what do you do when an innocent duckling waddles into your life? Eat him or become friends?Michael Bedard's googly-eyed gators and yellow-billed quackers take center stage in Hopper-esque paintings adapted from Bedard's bestselling poster art in this offbeat picture book about a decidedly odd couple -- and the friendship they make in an alligator-eat-duck world.
