Meg McKinlay grew up in Bendigo, Victoria, in a
book-loving, TV- and car-free household. On the long and winding
path to becoming a children’s writer, she has worked a variety of
jobs including swim instructor, tour guide, translator and teacher.
These days, she lives with her family near the ocean in Fremantle
and divides her time between teaching and writing, a balance that
swings wildly between chaos and calm. She is always busy cooking up
more books and you can visit her on the web at

a humorous story with excellent illustrations
*Child Blogger*
Duck! is awesome.
*AllThingsMomSydney*
Duck! is a humorous picture book story about word play and
confusing messages. Young readers will love the silliness of Duck’s
dilemma – and the other animals’ inability to heed the warning as a
tornado bears down on them. Picture clues will let readers in on
what is happening, and the digital and acrylic illustration are
filled with enough humour to make the characters endearing and the
situation amusing.
Lots of fun in a story that will be requested again and again.
*AussieReviews*
With funny and charming illustrations, Duck! is a fun book, perfect
for reading aloud together.
*Blog of Dad*
"Duck!" by Meg McKinlay is reminiscent of the tale of Henny Penny
and her falling sky and is a fun and surprising story that will be
read over and over again.
*ReadPlus*
A good laugh and read-aloud for juniors. Adults will see the bigger
picture although some may not.
*Bob's Book Blog*
Exceptionally entertaining for young and old.
*Boomerang Books*
An interesting story that has layers for further discussion...
