A strangely heartwarming story. In Death, Duck and the Tulip, Duck strikes up an unlikely friendship with Death. 'Who are you? Why are you creeping along behind me?' 'Good. You've finally noticed me', said Death. 'I am Death'. Duck is startled, then relieved when, the next day, she wakes up alive...you can't blame her for that. Duck and Death experience life together, swimming in the pond, climbing a tree and keeping company together until one day Duck feels very cold...
This beautifully illustrated picture book can provoke an emotional reaction from readers. Death, Duck and the Tulip is intriguing, haunting and thought- provoking. I recommend this book to teenagers and adults. This book deals with a difficult subject in an elegant, witty and straightforward way.
