Duck & Goose Find a Pumpkin by
Tad Hills. 2009. 22 pgs. New York, NY: Random House Children's Books.
9780375858130. Format review: Board Book.
Annotation:
Duck and Goose see a friend with a pumpkin and look all over to find one
of their own.
Reaction: Duck and
Goose decide to look in logs, under a leaf pile, in the water, and up an apple
tree to find their own pumpkin. It’s not until their friend Thistle tells them
to try the pumpkin patch until our two title characters figure out where to
find their own pumpkin. Part of the larger, successful Duck & Goose series,
the illustrations are soft and warm in color.
Primary
early literacy skills: Narrative skills. The story is made for a call-out
read with children: “Is a pumpkin in the log?” The pacing of the story, and the
utter confusion of Duck & Goose, prompt children to predict what will
happen next.
Recommended
ages: 1 and up.
