Summary: "Odd,¿ said Mabel. ¿Very odd.¿
Review: When Mabel opens her door Monday morning, she wasn't expecting to be confronted by a duck that thinks it's a cat. Mabel tries to convince the duck that it is a duck, but it resolutely says "Meow." Finally, with the help of the dog next door, Mabel convinces the duck it's a duck. But when Mabel opens the door on Tuesday morning, she's got another surprise waiting for her.

The drawings are very realistic; they almost look like pictures. The story is told in a very simple, straightforward manner. "On Monday morning, Mabel opened her door. There was a duck on the back step. "Hello" said Mabel. "Meow," said the duck. "Odd," said Mabel. "Very odd.""

My favorite line in this book is the often repeated '"Odd," said Mabel. "Very odd."' The whole book is sweet, loveable, and remarkably funny. The idea of a duck that thinks it's a cat makes for a lot of fun. Besides, one can simply describe this book as 'a book about a duck with identity problems.'
