Dodsworth and the duck are headed for Japan! But will duck be on his best behavior in a land of customs, manners, and order? Or will Dodsworth have to say sayonara to the duck before the trip is through? Readers will enjoy finding out as these two unlikely traveling companions make their way through Tokyo. Short sentences, clean design, and gemlike little paintings of the Land of the Rising Sun make it easy for newly independent readers to enjoy the journey.
"As usual, droll, understated watercolors illustrate the pair's tour of popular attractions. . . . Who knows where on earth [duck] and Dodsworth will end up next, but let's hope we find out soon."
--Horn Book
"The poetics of restraint could not be better displayed."
--Kirkus
"From the Dodsworth series, another fine, funny book for beginning readers or for reading to younger children."
