From School Library Journal
PreS—Duck and Goose are searching for a pumpkin like the one their friend Thistle has. They look unsuccessfully in a hollow log, in a pile of bright autumn leaves, and in an apple tree. They even look under the water and on top of a stump before Thistle suggests that they look in the pumpkin patch. On the final spread, they are shown carrying a large pumpkin between them, and Goose says, "We sure know how to find a pumpkin, Duck," and Duck agrees. This appealing story is told in simple, well-chosen words and illustrated with uncluttered oil paintings done in autumn colors. Signs of the season are everywhere. Dark red apples have fallen to the ground, a lone acorn sits on a tree stump, and orange leaves lay lightly on the grass under a pellucid blue sky. Preschoolers on their annual pilgrimage to the local pumpkin patch will identify with Goose and Duck.—Mary Jean Smith, Southside Elementary School, Lebanon, TN

Very cute book!,
By BW (U.S.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Duck & Goose, Find a Pumpkin (Board book)
I was walking through the book store looking for books for my 17 month old and this book caught my eye because of the beautiful fall colors. The story is short (but not too short), cute and funny, and I love the illustrations. This is our first duck & goose book and now I can't wait to get more!

This review is from: Duck & Goose, Find a Pumpkin (Board book)
Well, on my own first read I would have had to agree with the one star poster, it is a very simple little book with only a few words per page and not much for discussing/pointing out in the pictures (each page is essentially "Goose, is our pumpkin the the ____ (log, apple tree, pond etc)" "No"). I find it repetitive to read but my son does love it and asks for it repeatedly so I suppose that is the real test.

A new favorite,
This review is from: Duck & Goose, Find a Pumpkin (Board book)
My children LOVE this book and all the Duck and Goose stories...I am getting them out of the library so often that I know I have to give in and buy some. My 4-year old in particular loves this Find A Pumpkin one because he thinks it is funny that the birds are looking in such silly places and he likes to say "no way" instead of "no" when the pumpkin isn't in the log or water, etc (he especially likes when they look on the tree stump...he's always says "no way, it's an acorn!"). He interacts well with it and the concept is of no challenge for him to grasp. Sometimes I find that I add lines and expressions (be creative) with it, which might be more for me then the kids, but over-all the pictures/visuals are beautiful and classic...my two-year old loves to look at these books and my four-year old loves to hear them and add his own lines, too. These books are made for young children and it shows. Good stories, good pictures and a good way to spend time with my children.
