The picture on the cover is not the version we have. Ours is VERY old; it dates back to our daughter's childhood when I was an Usborne representative so that I could get a discount on books. It didn't work out so well, because I spent up my discount, profits and then some. But we got some very nice books, including this one.

This is book about finding Curly on each page. Cute pictures. Looking forward to reading it to my grandson.

The "find the duck" feature of every page is reminiscent of Richard Scarry's Goldbug character in some of his books. The duck is not much of a challenge to locate in any one picture, but the youngest readers (and others, perhaps) will enjoy looking for its salient yellow visage.
