Editorial Reviews

"The onomatopoeia included in the animal sounds also makes this an entertaining choice for reading aloud. With a lighthearted but important message of tolerance and friendship, this is a solid addition to any library. Join the club!" 
— School Library Journal, Xpress Reviews

"Kelly's endearing story shares the importance of being more inclusive than exclusive and celebrates not only diversity, but how to understand the feelings of others.... This positive book will help young readers to understand the importance of compassion." 
— The Pirate Tree

“Can I Join Your Club? belongs in schools, counselor offices, pediatrician offices, and anywhere else young kids can find themselves turned away by peers or looking for help. Children can find a hero in Duck who fought the exclusive clubs with a club of his own. In the end, inclusiveness wins, as does friendship, and positive personal growth. It is amazing how much a book with so few words can resonate with so many people." 
 — Kid Lit Reviews

“Written by John Kelly, this humorous story teaches a valuable lesson about inclusion and friendship.”
