My kids and I giggled our way through DUCK & GOOSE, Tad
Hills' first book starring these two lovable characters. With
DUCK, DUCK, GOOSE, our favorite quacker and honker are
back -- but this time there's another character thrown into the
mix, and three is most definitely a crowd.
Duck is very excited to introduce Thistle, the new duck who just
moved into the area, to his best friend Goose. And, at first,
Goose is just as happy to meet this new duck.
That is, until Goose soon learns that Thistle is the best at
everything, and I mean everything! She's the fastest, she's the
best at math, she's had three butterflies land on her bill at the
same time (compared to Goose's one), she can hold her breath
the longest, run up the hill the fastest, and...well, the list goes
on and on.
Goose learns very quickly that Thistle is the best, and that no
one else can ever hope to measure up. And yet he's tired of
everything always being turned into a contest. So he has no
choice but to leave Duck and Thistle to their own devices and
rest, by himself, behind his and Duck's favorite bush.
DUCK, DUCK, GOOSE is a wonderful book, about meeting new
people, the spirit of competition, and the true meaning of
friendship. Both toddlers and older readers will be enchanted,
once again, by Tad Hills' brilliant illustrations, and the story will
have them alternately laughing-out-loud and commiserating
with how left out and lonely Goose feels.
This one is another winner, and definitely deserves a place on
your keeper shelf!
