When young duck and goose find a large, multi-colored, spotted
"egg," bickering ensues. "I saw it first," proclaims Duck. "I
touched it first," smirks Goose, putting one webbed foot on the
egg. As the argument continues, over whose egg it is, and who
will keep it warm until it hatches, a small blue bird looks on.
When the dust settles and feathers are unruffled, both Duck &
Goose are atop the egg. As time passes, their arguments end,
and they both begin to think of what they'll teach "their" little
baby. "I'll teach it to quack like a duck," says Duck. "I'll teach it to
honk like a goose," says Goose. "We'll teach it to fly," they both
agree. And a tentative friendship is born.
Until that same little blue bird flies down to ask to join in their
fun--asks, in fact, if she can play with their ball. "Ball?" they ask.
"Well, of course we knew it was a ball. We had our doubts all
along!"
This is a funny, delightful book with beautiful illustrations that
any child can enjoy. A perfect bedtime story!
