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!

emerges. Imagine their surprise and chagrin, when a little bluebird alerts them to the fact that they are sitting on a ball!

The central premise here, in which another object is mistaken for an egg, reminds me a bit of Swedish author/artist Elsa Beskow's classic picture-book, The Sun Egg, in which an orange is mistaken for a 'sun egg' by an elf. Leaving that association aside, Duck & Goose is an immensely appealing title in its own right, pairing a humorous, entertaining, and ultimately heartwarming tale with vibrant, colorful artwork. Recommended to anyone who has read and enjoyed such stories as Dr. Seuss' Horton Hatches an Egg, or who is in the market for fun friendship tales.
