On a dark and stormy night, the egg hatches, Quackenstein cackles, and lightning strikes, but waitwhats this? That babys not a duck! What will he do? Where can he hide? And will Quackenstein ever find someone (or something) to cuddle? Sudipta Bardhan-Quallens clever rhyming text is perfectly paired with cute and spooky art from Brian T. Jones."e;Jones gleefully uses every clich in the book, from lurid lettering and backgrounds to effective use of silhouettes and shadows. Bardhan-Quallen, too, takes advantage of horror-movie tropes, but she also mixes in some instruction in the form of cumulative nouns for animals. The surprise twist at the end happily resolves Quacks fatherless state."e; -Kirkus Reviews
