Synopsis

Quentin was a duck with a very quick quack.
'QUCK!' said Quentin. 'What's wrong with me?'

Quentin's quack has lost its A. Do any of the other animals have one to spare? Not likely! APES don't want to be PES. SNAKES don't want to be SNKES. PANDAS don't want to be PNDAS or even PANDS. Will Quentin be stuck with a very quick QUCK?!

Goodreads review by Holly on September 30, 2024

I enjoyed this book and it is useful in explaining how deletion works in words. May be tricky to read as there are a lot of sounds so I would have to practice reading it before reading in front of a class......more

Goodreads review by Liam on September 29, 2021

This book can be applied to KS1 students and focuses on phonological awareness within words. The Quentin is the main character within the book and is missing his ‘A’ in ‘Quack’. Great lesson for children to decode words and ensure that the whole word is complete......more
