About the author

Veteran author / illustrator, Ted Enik, has worked for most of the top-tier publishers in New York City; applying his versatility to both original art as well as classic and current children’s book characters. Once part of the favored stable of "Magic School Bus" artists, tapped to fill Hilary Knight’s venerable shoes for the Eloise hardcover, "Eloise in Hollywood," and most recently the primary illustrator for the beloved Fancy Nancy “I Can Read™” series.

Ted has always been a writer—plays and film—and lately Illustrated Books (including Graphic Novels, that increasingly catchall category) with quirky plots and original voices. He’s is known for possessing a polished “voice,” a honed “ear,” and a ruthless, self-inflicting, red editor’s pen.

The best part is “duck with the identity crisis” which is in the movie but funny to see in the kids’ book. The lift flaps have to be read in order otherwise they don’t make since. But I love the movie so I’ll keep reading the book.

For some reason this is one of Margot's favorites, though I find the wording awkward. :)
