Description

My Name Is Duffy, Guess What I Am invites children ages 2–5 into a playful world of animals, clues, and surprises. Each watercolor scene introduces a different animal, along with a hint to help children guess whether that animal might be Duffy. Along the way, children discover fun facts about animals while getting glimpses of their individual personalities and mischievous ways. The guessing game keeps little readers engaged, whether they figure out Duffy’s identity before the final page or enjoy the surprise at the end. With its delightful watercolor illustrations by Gillian Bradshaw-Smith, this is a book children will want to return to again and again.

My Name Is Duffy, Guess What I Am What a delight! This book is sweet, fun, and lovely throughout. It has such a simple premise, yet even as an adult, I found myself engaged with the puzzle of just what Duffy is. The illustrations are as warm as the writing. I can't wait to read this to my granddaughter. Read more
