Duck & Goose

Good condition, lovely story.

a great story and funny one at that my 3 year old love this story and the pictures are great :P

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!Reviewed by: Jennifer Wardrip, aka "The Genius"

My 2yr old son just loves this book, he thinks it's really funny that duck and goose think the football is an egg. The text is a little long in some places but i just shorten it for him. The pictures are large and bright and very expressive. It has a gentle subtle humour that helps for repetative reading. One of our favourites
