Adulting is hard! Thank God for authors like Kim Wilch and her never-ending sense of humor. She has written a picture book for adults, one that overflows with sarcasm. Meet Duck, who faces one frustrating moment after the other. As the author puts it, how much can he handle before quacking up?
My opinion:
Life is a series of moments where you will most likely end up saying WTF! I loved this book from beginning to end, first of all I found the concept to be brilliant. An adult picture book is just what the doctor ordered, the perfect thing to have in your home library. I believe all adults will relate to the situations described in the book. Why the frown? We all know! Duck is a great character and one I will mention to everyone struggling with the daily challenges of adulthood.
The book touches effortlessly the part in us that tends to overflow with frustration. Are you tired of rising gas prices? Do you always feel stressed in dealing with the never-ending traffic? So is Duck! Kudos to the author for gathering adulthood in a story that offers so many laughs. Honesty is the best policy, I believe, and the dollop of sarcasm just makes things better. It doesn’t contain inappropriate words or crude humor, which just goes to prove how cool the author is. She is one of a kind, my kind in fact!
How often does it happen for us to feel overwhelmed by adulthood? We all know the answer to that question! This picture book for adults is the perfect pick-me up, and one that brings out the best in you. Seeing Duck go through all these challenges will make you feel better about your own way of coping with life. The story is brought to life by cool illustrations, which I absolutely loved. The main character is a duck, which also says a lot about the author’s love for animals. I highly recommend her other book, intended for children!
Verdict:
Why the frown? After reading this book, you will definitely be able to answer this question! The new release from Kim Wilch was thoroughly enjoyed in our home, we laughed until our tummies hurt. In a world defined by upset and tension, books like this one represent pure happiness! If you are looking for a unique read, something to bring a smile on your face, be sure go give this adult picture book a try. Duck is ready for you!
