THE DUCKLING GETS A COOKIE!?

The narrating duo of Mo Willems and his 11-year-old daughter, Trixie, captivate the listener. Together, they bring humor and pizzazz to prickly Pigeon’s latest insult at the hands of irresistible Duckling. Why does Duckling have a delectable cookie, and Pigeon does not? Is it all about being polite, or is it about manipulation? As Pigeon and Duckling, Mo and Trixie spar with all the intensity of close friends or siblings. With an undercurrent of delight, Mo exaggerates with indignation, and Trixie uses her sweetest, most polite tone. Musical accompaniment adds flair. The production includes an author interview in which Willems shares insider information on his pigeon series and the close connections between the stories and his family life. A.R.
