Description

In Zachary Quack Minimonster by Lynley Dodd, we follow the cheeky and energetic little duckling, Zachary Quack, on a whimsical adventure as he encounters a flicketty-quick dragonfly. With boundless energy and curiosity, Zachary Quack embarks on a playful pursuit, eager to catch the elusive insect. Little does he know, the chase will take him through a series of sticky and surprising situations that will test his agility and determination.

Zachary Quack dashes clumsily along the riverbank, through reeds and rushes, pittery pattering across the track. Each step brings him closer to the dragonfly, but who really holds the reins in this lively game of hustle and chase? As the adventure unfolds, both characters engage in a delightful dance of anticipation and excitement.

The charm of Zachary Quack Minimonster lies not just in Zachary Quack's endearing antics but also in the cameo appearances of beloved characters such as Hairy Maclary and his gang. These familiar faces add an extra layer of joy for readers who are already fans of Lynley Dodd's captivating world.

With rhythmic text and engaging illustrations, this book is a wonderful read-aloud experience for young children. Lynley Dodd's signature style of playful language and enchanting drawings makes this story a beloved addition to any child's bookshelf.

Critics have praised the book highly, with The Times proclaiming it to be "a child's best introduction to books," and The Independent noting it as "delightful to read aloud". These accolades reflect the universal appeal and enduring charm of Dodd's storytelling.

About the 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.'
