Duck Cack

Book cover What Mick does when a duck does cack on his back.

A duck does a quick cack on Mick's back-pack - and the child gets to practise 39 words that end with the /k/ sound, written as [ck]. Duck Cack (Volume 3) uses syntax up to LARSP Stage IV and there are no complex sentences. The ensuing battle between Mick and the duck leads to Mick saying a rude word - written as squiggles in Mick's talking balloon and as "nick off" in the text. At the end of Duck Cack, the reader can decide whether Mick will lick a speck of duck cack off his snack. Yuk!! Exactly.
