A beautifully illustrated book describing how we feel as adults almost every day. As children, we want to grow up and take on the responsibility and challenges of our parents until the time truly comes. This book, “Adulting With Humor, Why The Frown? Duck is a fun and delightful read. It quickly sums up everything with ease and precise humor. Well done.

Is life’s pond filled with more quacks than calm waters?
This book makes lemonade out of lemons—with a side of sarcasm! It’s a delightful mix of wit and whimsy for when life gets hard. The adulting thing aside, the illustrations are the best part! Why? Because everything goes south for a duck! Our feathery friend just isn’t having it and he quacked me up.
If adulting isn’t all it’s quacked up to be, read this book for a hilarious, light-hearted romp through the absurdities of everyday life, reminding us that sometimes, the best way to turn that frown upside down is to laugh at it. Waddle you waiting for?

Adulting is tough and crap happens and the duck brings these #adulting mishaps to life!
Whether it's the daily grind at work, a flat tire, someone else running a red light, or needing a little more wine/adult beverages at the end of the day this book helps us laugh out loud at those moments through the eyes of a duck.
He doesn't flip the bird in this book, but the funny detailed one-liners and comical illustrations with a relatable message on each page will keep adults laughing and nodding their heads in agreement.
This would be perfect for someone that's adulting hard right now and needs a laugh or two; who doesn't need a laugh or two?

hilarious…relatable
I can relate all too well with this hilarious adult picture book. This book is all about adulting. From waking up to an alarm, grocery shopping and bumping into unruly shoppers, and many other encounters we adults run into on a daily basis. You will catch yourself saying (W)hy (T)he (F)rown DUCK. A great gift to give. Especially if you need a gift for secret Santa, add this book to a basket with some (adult) relaxation gifts.

Hilarious 😂😂😂
I loved this book. It’s short and sweet and just got the spot. WTF Duck is having a heck of a day. Honestly, I could relate to so many of his issues—from needing a nap when the alarm goes off in the morning to feeling like this is the day I might finally snap. 😳🫣🤷🏽♀️😂😂😂
This story is a quick, fun read for adults and helps us laugh at our days’ many trials. Happy reading!!

Adulting with humor
Adulting is hard and this book will bring a smile to your face. All the scenarios in the book are relatable. I especially like the illustrations. The detail is spot on. I was hoping for more and wished the book didn't end so quickly! It'd be fun to have a series of WTF Duck with even more hilarious scenarios.

What a hilarious book for adults! It will make your day better, for sure. The illustrations bring some nostalgia and are so funny, to accompany the fun rhyming that might just make you laugh on bad days! We read it again and again in the teacher’s lounge.
