My favorite of the series. Duck shows his true nature (he's not a "neutral party" despite that claim in Click, Clack, Moo) when Farmer Brown goes on vacation, leaving his brother Bob in charge of the farm. The sly humor keeps adults amused while the story is easily followed by the pre-schooler.

Definitely a winning read-to-me book.

Summary:
Giggle, Giggle, Quack is the 2nd in the series of books about barnyard animals by Doreen Cronin and illustrated by Betsy Lewin. The animals are smart and outwit the farmer and his friend as much as they can to get the creature comforts they see the humans enjoying. Such a fun read and kids

just love to see the animals getting one up on humans. The book is full of wonderful pictures and the drawings are adorable. The animals have a life of their own with great facial expressions and devious plans.

Review:
An amazing book that my kids at home and at school love to hear. The pictures keep us as entertained as the words and we love to hear what the animals are going to do next.

This is another farm animal book. The animals play tricks on the farmer's brother while the farmer is out of towm. It's great for k-1 grades.

This is a fun book that children will enjoy making the sounds along with the book!

This is another one of Doreen Cronin's hilarious modern fantasy stories for children, featuring the same cunning and clever character "Duck." In this story, the animals are once again up to no good when Farmer Brown goes out of town leaving his brother in charge. While this book does not show the

animals receiving any consequences for their bad behavior and poor choices, the issue of responsibility is still present throughout the book. It is important that children learn that their choices, even if meant to be funny or silly, impact other people, just like the animals impacted Farmer Brown and his brother.

The aim of this book could be: How do we use the picture clues to make a prediction? The first graders love this book!

Farmer Brown was going on vacation and his brother Bob came to keep a watchful eye out on his farm and the animals. The farmer left notes on what to do and gave them to Bob. However, there was the Duck who is the trouble maker as Farmer Brown calls him. After Farmer Brown left Duck went and changed

all the note left for Bob. They got pizza and the pigs got bathes in the house and dried off with the nicest towels! Duck was very mischievous. Farmer Brown called to check in and Bob said things were great but Duck would giggle and giggle in the background. Farmer Brown seems suspicious. So one night Duck changed the note saying all the animals could come in the house and watch a movie! Farmer Brown called that night and the animals answers the phone with a giggle, giggle, quack, giggle, moo, giggle, oink!!

This is a very cute book to read to early childhood students. Very funny and repeats words. I can not relate to this story but I think it is an enjoyable book!

In the classroom, I can have my students draw their favorite character in the story and write a paper on why they like that character. I can also have a farm bring a few baby animals and let my students see the real thing.

When the farmers away, the animals will play.
Duck is a bit mischievous, it is fun to read just to see what Duck will do next.

I read this book to my pre-k students and they always ask me to read it again.

This is a farm story about one particular farm animal who takes witty advantage of a care taker while his owner is gone. The book is witty and hilarious; illustrations are precise and perfect,

When the farmers away, the animals play. This is a very cute book to read to students. Very funny story and has repeating words.

I adore this book even more than it's predecessor, Click, Clack, Moo. Just when Farmer Brown thought he had regained control of the Farm and can leave for a vacation, Duck outsmarts him - again - this time by manipulating the rather dim but well-intentioned City Cousin who's been brought in to

watch over the Flocks and Herds. Once again, Lewin's images are both gorgeous and delightfully smile provoking, and once again, Cronin's work can be enjoyed as a simple picture books with some great laughs (I particularly love the page on the Sound of Mooooosic) or it can be used (as I have used it) to demonstrate elements of manipulation of information, aspects of prejudice between rural and urban lifestyles and leadership.

Grades 2-4. Kids love barn animals. This book is great in teaching them about the farm animals and the sounds they make. Author used great and interesting illustrations

I liked this one maybe more than Click, Clack, Moo, Cows That Type.

This book is about a farmer who goes away and leaves his animals to his brother. His brother has to take care of the animals. I would use this book in the classroom because it is funny and fun to read. I would use this for ages 3, 4, and 5.

This story is about a farmer who goes on vacation and needs his brother to watch the animals. The animals sees this as a time to have fun. What else will happen when the owner is away? This is just a funny story to see what trouble the animals can get into.

This was a very cute book, and I liked it. I liked that the illustrations gave clues to what was happening in the story before the text explained it. For example, you can see Duck with a pencil, so you can predict that he's the one writing the silly notes, but it isn't apparent in the text until

the last page. I also liked that the animals were personified. Ducks can't actually write, but by having the duck writing notes, the hens eating pizza, and the cows watching a movie with popcorn, it makes the book very funny and adds to its genre of modern fantasy. The main idea of this story is to be weary of those you are warned about, because they just may outsmart you!
