About the Author:
Syd Hoff is a much-loved and much-read author and illustrator of numerous books for children. Born and raised in New York City, he studied at the National Academy of Design and sold his first cartoon to The New Yorker when he was eighteen. Since then his cartoons have become a regular feature in many magazines and newspapers. Syd Hoff and his wife live in Miami Beach, Florida.
Review:
"Hoff's economical and subtly funny text clearly point out the give-and-take in Duncan's family: when the prodical duck returns, he does 'one more dance - just for his mother,' to acknowledge his gratutide for his freedom and for the security to return home. The illustrations are likewise basic and adroit - Duncan's eyes are closed in a reverie and his beak is held proudly as he twirls, and his multi-specied fans smile and wave with enthusiasm. This picture book is winningly light on it's feet, conveying a timeless, cheerful simplicity." Publishers Weekly

"The simple text, accompanied by the bright and bold pictures makes Duncan a real charmer. He'll be a star for years to come." School Library Journal
