    [synopsis] => Audrey is bigger than she was yesterday. Now she needs a bigger house. So she tells her dad to build her one.
	Audrey is bigger than she was yesterday. Now she needs a bigger house. So she tells her dad to build her one.At the top of a tree.It is an ideal house. It has a bathtub for snorkeling, a place to drink tea, and somewhere to hide the dirty cups.The house is perfect in every way.Except for one thing ...This humorous story explores the clash between a quest for independence and the longing for security. Emerging author Jenny Hughes and acclaimed illustrator Jonathan Bentley have created a picture book with outstanding warmth, sensitivity, and insight.       Praise for HAVE YOU SEEN MY DUCK? (by Janet A. Holmes and illustrated by Jonathan Bentley)"High on the cuteness scale, this will be a welcome addition to preschool collections." --SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL"Bentley's charming watercolors present the epitome of a little boy (bare feet and all) and his well-loved stuffy." --KIRKUS REVIEWS"Both the narrative and the illustrations are particularly successful at communicating the boy's feelings .... The pencil-and-watercolor illustrations have a casual, sketchy informality, with loose pencil lines adding detail and a sense of simplicity; the art reinforces the child-centeredness of the tale by never showing any adult faces." --THE BULLETIN OF THE CENTER FOR CHILDREN'S BOOKS       Jonathan Bentley is an award-winning illustrator who has illustrated over 20 books, including books for Margaret Wild, The Wiggles, and Andrew Daddo. When illustrating, he likes to work with a range of materials, including acrylics, oils, and line and watercolor. Jonathan is currently living in the UK.
