About this product
Product Information
From the author of Wild One and A Good Day for Ducks , an enchanting story of about slowing down to notice the world and speaking up when it matters No matter how hard she tries, little Queenie Quail can't keep up with her Mama and her Papa and her nine bobbing, tapping siblings. "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" they exclaim as Queenie lags behind. But how can Queenie hurry when there are so many interesting things to look at? One day when she stops to admire a fascinating feather, a flash of orange catches Queenie's eye. Spotting danger among the greenery, Queenie springs into action, hurry, hurry, hurrying to warn her family just in the nick of time. From Jane Whittingham, the celebrated author of Wild One and A Good Day for Ducks , Queenie Quail Can't Keep Up is a story about the value of slowing down to take notice of the world around us. Whittingham's bouncy prose is filled with lovely wordplay and musicality, pairing perfectly with debut illustrator Emma Pedersen's whimsical illustrations in this tale that young readers will identify with and ask for again and again.

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
