Jeremy Quacks by David Scott Meier and Bruce Balan (1989) is another version of a young animal that talks in every language but its own. This time, the main character is a duck. Very young children can oink, moo, bow wow, baaa, and tweet along with Jeremy. How can this very familiar theme end? I was pleasantly surprised when Jeremy says “meow” before finally quacking with rest the flock. The illustrations are light and airy and filled with the barnyard favorites.
