Why The Frown? Duck: An adult picture book featuring humor and sarcasm when adulting is hard Kindle Edition

by Kim Wilch (Author), Arti Kukreja (Illustrator) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars 14 ratings

Sarcasm shines in this hilarious story as Duck faces one frustrating moment after another.

How much can he handle before quacking up?

Follow Duck as he navigates life’s challenging situations and rude people. He soon learns adulting is hard and isn’t all it’s quacked up to be.

Written in rhyme and illustrated with amusing scenes, this book highlights many Why The Frown moments.

The illustrations will engage a child; however, this is an adult picture book free from curse words.

Everyone should have people in their life who love to laugh.
Perhaps you know someone who needs this book?

For those who enjoy:

  • humor
  • cartoon
  • satire
  • parody
  • laugh-out-loud moments

and are tired of stupid people.

    I Let’s be honest, who hasn’t woken up, ready for a nap, ready to do more to the alarm clock than just a tap? Many of life’s daily escapades are flat out deserving of a great big why the frown! Which is why W T F Duck, Why the Frown Duck is simultaneously relatable and hysterical. Author, Kim Wilch has managed to find the humor in everyday burdens from the outrageous cost of gas, to rude people and more (I don’t want to give all the goodies away at once) in this laughter inducing and delightful adult picture book! You will find yourself quacking up from page to page with sarcastic, wine eliciting scenarios, written in prose! This is the perfect gift for any occasion. It belongs on every coffee table as it’s sure to stir up laughter in any home. So cheers to this hilarious book!

    I loved this book. It’s short and sweet and just got the spot. WTF Duck is having a heck of a day. Honestly, I could relate to so many of his issues—from needing a nap when the alarm goes off in the morning to feeling like this is the day I might finally snap. 😳🫣🤷🏽‍♀️😂😂😂

    This story is a quick, fun read for adults and helps us laugh at our days’ many trials. Happy reading!!

    I can relate all too well with this hilarious adult picture book. This book is all about adulting. From waking up to an alarm, grocery shopping and bumping into unruly shoppers, and many other encounters we adults run into on a daily basis. You will catch yourself saying (W)hy (T)he (F)rown DUCK. A great gift to give. Especially if you need a gift for secret Santa, add this book to a basket with some (adult) relaxation gifts.

    I loved the humor and the rhyming. I actually know people like this duck who always seem to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I can feel Duck's frustration at everyone he comes in contact with. I also love the fact that it's an illustrated, short, storybook for adults. We need more like these.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A picture book for adults
    Reviewed in Canada on November 21, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    This is the perfect book to read when you're feeling down and can use a good laugh. It has a great combination of bright-coloured illustrations and hilarious situations that most adults can relate to in one way or another. Being an adult can be hard. Many of us have had to deal with traffic and bad drivers, an increase in prices, or rude people in general. This book will help you laugh it off, shake your head, and completely understand where Duck is coming from. You'll love the expressions on the duck`s face. They are just brilliant!

    Eventhough this book is written for adults, there is no bad language . It just displays good clean humour. Give it a try. You'll love it!
