cthib9 's review for:
Duck & Goose
by Tad Hills
Conflict resolution. Golly, what an art.
This book checks all the boxes for me as a dad-reader:
- Dynamic, quotable dialogue ("Don't ever put your dirty foot on an egg!")
- Artful set-ups/callbacks
- Bold morals
- Sequels, so I don't have to read the book every night
Plot: A duck and goose simultaneously happen upon an "egg." They each take ownership and engage in a mild spat to determine who will provide the necessary warmth. The "egg" is quadruple the size of these fowl. Alas.
In their bickering and one-upmanship, D&G realize, hey, they're kind of alike! A new friendship is born, and the world is a kinder place. Queue the franchise deal.
One of the most enjoyable children's books I've read.
