Reception edit
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]
