Krouse, A, & Lichtenheld, T. (2009). //Duck! rabbit!//. San Francisco: Chronicle Books Llc.

Is it a duck or is it a rabbit? This humorous book was delight to read and wonder about the illusions. My very own children had a lot of fun reading this book and ask to read it over and over…sometimes they are POSITVE it’s a duck, and other times they are COMPELTELY SURE that it’s a rabbit!
