Zachary Quack Minimonster
When mischievous duckling Zachary Quack meets a flicketty-quick dragonfly, an exciting chase ensues. As Zachary hustles the dragonfly into the air, weaving through reeds and water lilies, he finds himself in one sticky situation after another. But as the pursuit unfolds, it becomes clear that the dragonfly might just be the one calling the shots, leading our feathered friend on a merry dance.
Zachary Quack Minimonster, penned by the beloved author Lynley Dodd, stars the energetic and spirited duckling in his very own big adventure. With vivid illustrations and rhythmic prose, this delightful tale takes readers on a whimsical journey as Zachary follows the elusive dragonfly around the riverbank.

went pittery pattery

About the Author
Lynley Dodd (Author) Lynley Dodd graduated from the Elam School of Art in Auckland with a diploma in Fine Arts, majoring in sculpture. She went on to teach art before taking a break to start a family. She began to work as a freelance illustrator and collaborated with author Eve Sutton on My Cat Likes To Hide in Boxes. There was no looking back as Lynley went on to write and illustrate her own books for children. Exuberant artwork and bouncy rhymes come together perfectly in books like Slinky Malinki and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy. As well as being a visual delight, these are some of the most rewarding books for children and adults to read out loud. It comes as no surprise that, as a child, she adored Dr Seuss because of his 'crazy sounds and the fact that he took such liberties with the English language.' Other favourite authors included A A Milne and the fairy tales of The Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Andersen. Today, Lynley is a big fan of Quentin Blake 'because of his humour and very clever art work.'
