1: 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!

2: great book
I love this book. This story is great. My first grade class loves this story. The illustrations are wonderful as is the story.

3: Don't judge a book by looking at the cover...
"Duck and Goose" look like they'll be simplistic and overly-basic -- both the artwork and the text are deceptively plain... But these two little guys actually have a richer and more believable emotional life than many picturebook characters. They might not have a long shelf-life (kids will probably move on past them fairly quickly...) but while they are your book friends, your lives will be enriched. Definitely worth checking out. (ReadThatAgain!)

4: More than funny with great pictures
This book was highly recommended in a magazine I subscribe to, and after reading the reviews here I decided to purchase it for my 2-year-old son. It's not in his top ten favorites, but he really likes it - we read it a few times a week
One nice part of the storyline that I hadn't anticipated was that it clearly demonstrates the "stages" toddlers go through with their friends. As all parents of toddlers know, sharing is a very difficult thing for little ones (including duck and goose) to do. This book accurately and comically demonstrates this issue from the very beginning, but gradually the duck and goose begin to share their "egg," realizing that they can both care for it and enjoy having it.
I highly recommend this book. I gave it four stars instead of five because, although I can't put my finger on it, I feel it lacks the "spark" that makes a book really special. Sorry I can't be more specific.

5: Kids will love this book
Parents and kids alike will love this book. It has so many hidden lessons like cooperation, friendship, sharing, tolerance and the power of persuasion. It also is great to read to a group because it has an element of suspense and surprise. Great illustrations.
