From Amazon.co.uk
Jez Alborough has a talent for telling a tall tale or two; in Fix-it Duck he surpasses himself. Enter one rather ridiculous--and, frankly, not very bright--duck on a mission to fix a leaky roof. What follows is a gloriously farcical farmyard adventure that will have tots and adults giggling merrily.

Fabulously bright, detailed illustrations capture the mood of the humourous text beautifully, making this divinely comic picture book for the very young an absolute must-read for everyone who has ever tried their hand at a little DIY. (Ages 2 and over.) --Susan Harrison

From Publishers Weekly
The trouble begins with a leaky roof in the sequel to Duck in a Truck, Fix-It Duck by Jez Alborough, and follows the, er, handy quacker on a series of missteps.

From School Library Journal
reSchool-Grade 1-Duck, Sheep, Goat, and Frog are together again in this sequel to Duck in the Truck (HarperCollins, 1999). This time, Duck fancies himself a repairman when he thinks his roof is leaking. He leaves to enlist the help of his friends and finds more things that seem to need fixing, only to cause havoc and quite a bit of damage to unfortunate Sheep's trailer. In the very first picture, Frog notices the real reason for the leak (Duck has forgotten to turn off his bathwater), but he cannot get his attention. Alborough tells the story in rhyming couplets with a cadence that engages listeners and advances the action through hilarious scenes. The large, vivid illustrations provide the visual narration for the misadventures. The pictures both delight (bright red truck, vibrant green jeep, multicolored umbrella) and comfort (claw-foot bathtub, fluffy bathrobe, steaming mugs). This book will have broad appeal to preschool audiences and work well for storytime crowds.
