"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.

Eventually bird comes along and tells them that their egg is a ball and they go and play together. The story is cute, it wasn't totally what I expected. My son... more info
Super Cute Book!:
My 3 year old son loves Duck and Goose! I thought the story was funny! I also like the way they eventually work together and become a team in the end. It's a book we enjoy reading together.
Great for Older Folks Too!:
While searching for a book for my step son, I happened across this book on display. I squeezed myself in one of the kid's chairs and read the book. I loved the story and the illustrations. In a chaotic world, it's simple, sweet tale is one all can enjoy. I later purchased Duck, Duck, Goose from Amazon and enjoyed it just as much. Some stories transcend age and these tales definitely do. Enjoy!
