Categories:


great book:
I love this book. It is so cute. I am a first grade teacher and parent of two (5 and 21/2) and my kids and class alike really enjoy hearing this book. Thie illustrations are colorful and the story can be used with many ages.


Nice series promoting emotional growth...:
A great sequel to the first book... "Duck and Goose" look like they'll be simplistic and overly-basic -- both the artwork and the text are deceptively plain -- but these little guys actually have a richer and more believable emotional life than many picturebook characters. The newcomer, Thistle, is one of the most believable brats to be seen on the printed page in quite a while... But you still gotta love her! These books might not have a long shelf-life (kids will probably move on past them fairly quickly...) but while Duck and Goose they are your book friends, you're lives will be enriched. Definitely worth checking out! (ReadThatAgain!)


Great book!:
I bought this book for my daughter who is an early childhood education major. She requested it after reviewing it in class. Great book!


First Used Book Purchase:
Description on this book stated it was in very good condition. I was apprehensive to purchase it since it was used, but I had to replace a lost library book (because it was chepaer than paying all the late fees)and the library employee suggested buying a used one in good condtion online. The book came in a timely manner and seemed to be in very good condition, as described. I will definitely consider purchasing more used books online for myself and my kids.


Courtesy of Kids @ Teens Read Too:
My kids and I giggled our way through Duck and 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! Reviewed by: Jennifer Wardrip, aka "The Genius"
