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 www.megmckinlay.com

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.
