Duck and Moose: Duck in the Dark!

by Kirk Reedstrom

Overview

A USA Today Bestseller!

The third book in a laugh-out-loud early graphic novel series perfect for fans of Narwhal and Jelly! Quiet-loving Moose's life is turned upside down by free-wheeling Duck. The two will need to put their differences aside if they're ever going to be neighbors...or friends!

It’s time for a best-friends-slash-roommates sleepover! Duck is prepared for everything: he’s got snacks, his karaoke machine, and a stack of movies for Moose and him to watch. But is Duck ready for how early it gets dark now that it’s winter in Denali? Moose sheds some light on the situation and shows Duck that sometimes things aren’t as scary as you imagined.

Filled with zany hijinks and slapstick humor, Kirk Reedstrom's Duck and Moose series showcases unlikely friendships and the power of compromise.
