Awards/获奖情况：In this version of Drakestail, a French fairy tale, Duck farms marshmallows, licorice whips, and jelly beans that are so delicious the king comes to borrow them. After a year passes without their return, Duck vows to recover them: Quack, quack, quack! / Quack, quack, quack! / I’m off to get / my jelly beans back! Along the way, Duck encounters friends (Dog, Lady Ladder, Babbling Brook, and some wasps) who accompany him and thwart the king’s attempts to dispose of Duck. Unlike in the original, Gerstein’s king survives to replace Duck’s jelly beans and befriend everyone. The strength of this retelling lies in its comfortable rhymes and repeated phrases that make story details easy to remember and anticipate. Additionally, the choice of present tense for most of the tale places listeners within the story and makes them part of the action. Gerstein’s sunny, cartoon-style illustrations add to this version’s upbeat mood, and the use of speech bubbles will help young listeners to distinguish between narration and dialogue. A good choice for reading aloud or encouraging creative dramatics. Preschool-Grade 2. --Kay Weisman
