Beaky Barnes and the Devious Duck: A Graphic Novel

David Ezra Stein

Caldecott Honor winner David Ezra Stein returns to the world of Beaky Barnes with this follow-up graphic novel featuring David's signature humor and unmistakable art style. Now in paperback!

Watch out for the devious duck! A new bird has arrived in Simpleton and is here to ruffle some feathers with a plan to trick the townspeople out of their money. For what, you might ask? Buying freshly baked bread! (A duck's favorite snack, of course.)

Meanwhile, the chef wants to hire a baker, the inspector is looking to get strong, and the inventor is trying out some new (explosive) ideas for a kitchen invention contest. But what about our favorite chicken? Well, her egg is now an adorable baby chick, and Beaky Barnes is catching on to the duck's tricks.

Praise for this book

"A love letter to libraries...Stein's trademark artwork...never misses...An early lesson on community-based, restorative justice. To deliver that message while still infusing the book with zany, chaotic humor is nothing short of masterful... Both delightfully quirky and thought provoking."--Kirkus, starred review

"'Zany' can't even begin to describe this book [...] Stein's signature illustration style is fully on display [...] Recommended for libraries looking for lighthearted and silly titles."--School Library Journal
