Duck and Goose are not fond of each other at first but their funny interactions as they tend to the egg will delight children. This is a good book to teach about individuals' strengths .

Award Illustrators assignment

This is a super cute book! the art is fantastic for the storyline, and any kid (and adult for that matter) would enjoy reading it for what ever reason. the story is cute in that it made me go back to a time when the kind of attitude demonstrated in the book was common occurrence...especially at recess! Again the art was perfect for the writing, hens a good picture book almost always seems to be those where the writer and illustrator are the same person. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 037583611X, Hardcover)

Here is the first book in the popular Duck & Goose line of picture books and board books. This New York Times Bestseller and ALA-ALSC Notable Children's Book stars two unforgettable characters and is filled with humor that young children will appreciate—and recognize!

Like James Marshall’s George and Martha, and Rosemary Wells’s Benjamin and Tulip, Duck and Goose have to work at getting along. You see, Duck doesn’t much care for Goose at first, and Goose isn’t fond of Duck. But both want the egg that each claims to be his. As the two tend to their egg, and make plans for the future, they come to appreciate one another’s strengths. And when a bluebird points out that it isn’t really an egg—it’s a polka dot ball—the two are not dismayed. After all, it is a lovely ball. . . .
