Summary: 5 Stars
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!

Summary of Duck & Goose
?That egg is mine! I saw it first,? says Goose. ?I touched it first. It?s mine,? declares Duck. 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. . . .Filled with humor that young children will appreciate?and recognize!?and starring two unforgettable characters, Duck & Goose has all the ingredients of a classic-in-the-making.Ducks & Other Waterfowl Books
