Never have I ever been the first GR review!
I loved this next chapter of Duck and Moose’s adventures. Beautifully illustrated and I know especially my son will appreciate how very not afraid of the dark Duck is.

Duck is a new resident of Denali National Park. He's made an immediate best friend in the like of Moose. However, Duck hasn't experienced his first ever Alaskan winter, where it gets very dark for longer periods of time throughout the day.
Experience the wild and wacky ways Duck will try to keep the darkness at bay. That's because deep down, Duck is afraid of the dark. He just wouldn't admit it to his best bud, Moose. He's got too much pride.
This is the third book in the Duck and Moose series. My first experience with the series as it was on the new shelf at my local library having debuted in December of last year. You don't have to start on book #1. Author Kirk Reedstrom does a great job keeping the reader informed on the important details on what has transpired previously. Pretty much with 'Duck in the Dark', all you need to know previously is that Duck is new to the region and doesn't know what Alaskan winters are like.
I thought that the book was adorable. And funny. I laughed out loud a couple of times at the highly unexpected antics of Duck. He's the funny guy in the duo with Moose as the straight man in the comedy routine.
I highly recommend this book. It deals with fears and how to overcome them. There's nothing a parent or guardian of a young reader should object to. No fighting. And despite being considered a slapstick comedy, there's no mayhem on the level of the Three Stooges. Just some very over-the-top ideas on how to survive a dark night in the 50th State.

Bercerita tentang seekor bebek dan rusa yang berlibur bersama. Pada malam hari, si bebek gak bisa tidur. Dia melakukan apa saja sehingga sang rusa merasa heran. Ternyata, bebek takut gelap, jadi dia tidak bisa tidur tanpa menyalakan senter atau lampu. Di sinilah rusa kemudia mengajari bebek bahwa gelap tidak selamanya menakutkan. Ketakutan tuh cuma ada di pikiran kita. Kadang bahkan ada hal yang hanya bisa dilihat ketika suasana gelap, contohnya aurora borealis.

Duck and Moose are excited they're having a sleepover. But they have different ideas about what that entails. Duck has a billion things to keep them busy all night long....movies, games, snacks, etc.. But Moose wants to sleep. Duck tries to change his mind but Moose keeps trying to sleep....while Duck is reading, writing and other things with a flashlight on....keeping Moose awake. The two argue until Duck finally admits his fear.
A cute, well told story of an age old dilemma.

Duck and Moose are getting ready to have a sleepover in Denali, but they can't agree on what to do. Should it be movies and a snowduck flashlight conga line or a peaceful night of rest? The odd couple friendship, paired with themes of compromise and childhood fears make this a fun and relatable read. Highly recommended!
