Geoduck Is Not a Duck: A Story of a Unique Pacific Northwest Mollusk
Geoduck Is Not a Duck: A Story of a Unique Pacific Northwest Mollusk | Candy Wellins
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
Learn about the Pacific Northwest's most unique shellfish in this hilarious account of mistaken identity. In this fun and engaging graphic novel picture book mashup, a beachside breaking news story clues the audience into a dramatic development: there's a gooey duck on the loose! As the report goes on, it becomes clear to the audience that the news reporter doesn't realize his story isn't about a duck covered in goo but is instead about the world's largest burrowing clam, a geoduck (pronounced gooey duck). This story of mistaken identity is full of more twists and turns than a rough day at sea and will have everyone laughing as the reporter slowly uncovers the truth about the geoduck. The book also includes fun facts about geoducks.

4 ⭐ This book was odd, but enjoyable. It‘s set up as a graphic novel of a news report by a very stupid sea creature. A star is out on the beach, trying to find the geoduck. But doesn‘t know what a geoduck does. A crab comes along, and it‘s trying to help the sea star, but the sea star takes everything the wrong way. So the crab has to educate the sea star and the news reporter on what a geoduck is, and where to find them.

LibrarianRyan This was a very interesting way to showcase a creature not many know about. And a great way to show how geoduck is pronounced since it reads like Geo overall, this was pretty fun and pretty interesting. I could see kids really having a fun time with us. 3mo
SamAnne I grew up in the PNW USA and we sang a song about geoducks in Girl Scout camp. It doesn‘t have a back and it doesn‘t go quack! 3mo
LibrarianRyan @SamAnne I love That. 3mo
