DUCKWORTH, THE DIFFICULT CHILD BY MICHAEL SUSSMAN ILLUSTRATED BY JULIA SARDA

Duckworths parents think he is a difficult child, so when a snake slides right up andswallows him whole, his parents dont believe him! Whats poor Duckworth to do?

Duckworth is a difficult child.
At least thats what his parents think.

So when Duckworth tries to explain that a gigantic snake slithered out of his closet, his parents insist its all in his headhe is far too old to be imagining such nonsense. (And will he please do his chores?) But even when the cobra slides right up andswallows Duckworth whole, his parents remain unconvinced! (Wheredidhe find that snake costume, and will he please put it away?)

Whats poor Duckworth to do when his parents just wont listen? With nods to the deliciously dark humor of Edward Gorey, Florence Parry Heide, and Jon Klassen, Michael Sussman and Jlia Sard empathize with children everywhere who must find ways to deal with their difficult parents.
