The Duck Never Blinks
By Alex Latimer
New York: Roaring Brook Press, 2023. Picture Book.
There is a duck and the duck never blinks. The unseen narrator tries over and over again to get the duck to blinkā¦to no avail! Readers will laugh as the narratorās emotions start to escalate or when the duck responds (just not by blinking) to various things that the narrator does. And then there is the endingāwhere readers (but not the narrator) will enjoy the duckās final response to all that the narrator does. This is a great book with humor tucked into each illustration of the duck and the narratorās responses. Try this out with a group of story time kids or an elementary school class that like the idea of a book breaking the fourth wall.
