Michael Bedard is one of the most famous poster artists on Earth. In the early 1980ies he created a poster and post cards line showing ducks in human situations – a tribute to modern society. Today the white-feathered heroes with their relaxed attitude and indignant look are world-famous. “Sitting Ducks” posters belong to the best-selling posters world-wide.

His picture book debut in 1998 proved he is as good at telling stories as he is at illustrating them. He is authentic and convincing in his fascinating plain pictures and his warm-hearted stories full of dramatic art and a good share of witty language. The bizarre story revolves around the unusual friendship between a little duck and a crocodile. A wonderful book for children aged five and up.

In 2002 Bedard’s popular characters were breathed into life as three-dimensional ducks on TV … In Germany, the animated series produced by Universal Pictures Visual Programming is regularly airing on the ZDF Tabaluga tivi block and on Ki.KA.
