Reception

In a New York Times article discussing some of Rosenthal's books Bruce Handy wrote "As for the wonderful “Duck! Rabbit!” it is the funniest children’s book ever based on a 19th-century-style optical illusion (or more properly, the Internet tells me, “ambiguous figure”).". [1] BookPage wrote "The text is easy and accessible for the earliest reader, but the ideas are intellectually satisfying for the adults who want to join the fun." [2]

Duck! Rabbit! has also been reviewed by Kirkus Reviews , [3] Publishers Weekly , [4] Common Sense Media, [5] Booklist , [6] School Library Journal , [7] The Horn Book Magazine , [8] and Library Media Connection [9]
