Loading... Duck, Duck, Gooseby Tad Hills
None. This picture book tells of the adventures of Duck, Goose, and Thistle, and how they deal with competitiveness and friendship. I picked this up to read for a teaching class that I had. Oh, my. It was miserable. A huge pet peeve of mine is "one upping." I can't stand one uppers. The entire book is nothing but one upping. There's that subtle hint of "this is not how you should behave," but it's still not worth it. summary: This book is about Duck and Goose and Duck's new friend, Thistle. Thistle seems to be the best at everything until Goose gets tired of her and leaves. Duck realizes how much he misses Goose and looks for him until he finally finds him. Turns out, Duck can;t keep up with Thistle either. classroom connection: Teaches not to take your friends for granted. Could be used before recess to teach kids to make sure not to leave anyone out. A follow up to Duck and Goose - funny story about friendship. The illustrations are very cute and charming, as is the message of this book. For ages 3 and up. Adorable illustrations! I certainly enjoyed them and I think they would draw in a younger audience with the bright colors and characters. There is also an underlying theme of competition that adds some substance to the story. Classroom use: Definitely to be used in a younger classroom. I would have the students read out loud. no reviews | add a review
