Captain Duck by Jez Alborough

This is a picture book that is part of series.  Duck the main character always gets into trouble and brings his other animals friends along.  The book is illustrated like a series of scenes.  This makes it different from other pictures books with similar plots.  My child study student for Block A loves these books especially for the illustrations because they are able to follow along with every aspect of the story regardless of being able to read all the words.  These stories are always full of action and keeps your attention.  Also each page is laid out differently yet the words are always under the scene.  There is consistency yet variability.  It is not one of my favorites but I think that the story and the illustrations are ones the children enjoy.
