«Sitting Ducks» is the children's picture book by Michael Bedard, published by Walker Books Ltd in paperback (37 pages, in English).
At the Colossal Duck Factory, an assembly line run by alligators produces ducks destined to be eaten. When an alligator takes one home, an unlikely friendship is born. The story humorously asks whether a duck and an alligator can be friends in a world where one is the other's food, and becomes a fable about loyalty.
The work was originally published in 1998 and was recognised with the California Book Award in the juvenile category.
Suitable for early readers aged 5 and up, within children's animal stories.
