No matter what you do, no matter how long you stare, the duck simply refuses to close its eyes. The narrator tries everything: shouting, telling jokes and even sharing a sad story. But nothing seems to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\"\u003eWhat makes this book so much fun is that \u003cspan class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\"\u003ethe reader becomes part of the story\u003c\/span\u003e. Children are encouraged to watch the duck, try to make it blink and join in with the growing frustration of the narrator. The humour is wonderfully dry, the illustrations are deceptively simple, and the ending delivers a brilliant little surprise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\"\u003eFrom award-winning author and illustrator \u003cspan class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\"\u003eAlex Latimer\u003c\/span\u003e, this is a playful, laugh-out-loud read-aloud that earned the \u003cspan class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\"\u003eFlorida Sunshine State Young Readers Award\u003c\/span\u003e.
