Fun Misadventures with Duck and Croc
Charleybear and I braved the December traffic in Makati to meet and greet an award-winning children's book author and illustrator, Robert Magnuson, as he launched his latest books, the Duck and Croc series at the National Book Store in Glorietta 1.
The event was filled with everthing Charleybear loved - books, colorful pens from Dong-A, popcorns and cotton candies, Nissin Crunchers, and fun games for every kid.
She was thrilled even more when author and illustrator Robert Magnuson read-aloud one of the Duck and Croc series.
The
series is about the characters Duck and Croc, who are the best of friends although
they are vastly different from each other.
They play together, race against
each other, and go on difficult as well as fun adventures. Join this unlikely
pair of friends as they come upon marvelous discoveries and learn lessons from
the challenges along the way.
As
this mischievous pair go through their many adventures, young readers are
invited to journey together with them. With its short rhyming lines and
adorably colorful illustrations, this picture book series delivers simple but
striking messages for its young readers.
The
series currently includes three books, namely: Duck and Croc’s Magnificent Race, Duck and Croc Meet Collector Alligator, Little Duck and Little Croc
Fowl Friday Feast.
Charleybear (and I, mostly) was also thrilled to have all her three books signed!
