Amy Krouse Rosenthal has written a ton of good books, but I think this has got to be our favorite. Duck! Rabbit! is just a lot of fun and my two kids have poured over the book ever since it arrived.
The story's roots are in the age-old optical illusion 
and Tom Lichtenheld has done a fabulous job in making the image simpler and more kid-friendly while keeping it's dual elements. I could spin my wheels describing the what the Duck! Rabbit! experience is like, but Chronicle Books has put together a movie that says-- and shows-- it all.Considerations:::
Duck! Rabbit! is great fun. My just-turned 7 and 9 year-olds love both the artwork and dialog.
The book has broad appeal and should find a good audience within the 3ish thru 9ish age range. It is an Excellent Read-aloud which I think could be used for a primer since the text is large, with simple sentences.

The Accelerated Reading number for Duck! Rabbit! is a generic "1". This means that the vocabulary and syntax have been found to be at the 1st Grade level. The exact month within the 1st Grade hasn't been determined.
