Description: Duck and Cat's relaxing boat ride turns adventurous as they outwit a family of hungry crocodiles on board who want to eat them for dinner.

Review Quotes: Supremely simple art accompanies a beginner-level text that manages to get quite a bit of humor and whimsy in; both words and images have a strong James Marshall vibe. . . . Crackers, crocodiles, and cut-ups abound in this delightful launch of a new easy-reading series.
--Kirkus Reviews

Readers with a taste for grim, understated humor should gobble this one up.
--Publishers Weekly

New Yorker contributor Panckeri plies his skills in single-panel cartooning in this debut early reader comic. . . . This fun, single-joke tale of the perils of hanging out with hangry folks adds to the pantheon of comic animal pairs--best read after a snack.
--Booklist

The accessibility of the text doesn't take away from the plot, which is driven by humor and expressive art. The ­visuals will keep readers engaged and ­provide helpful context clues that aid in following the narrative. . . .A must have addition to the growing selection of early reader graphic novels. Give to fans ofSergio Ruzzier's "Fox & Chick" series.
