Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS—Duck and Goose return in this almost wordless board book. Each spread features a feeling or two as the adorable duo interact. The portrayals of simple emotions—scared, happy, and sad-are most successful. But those that are more subtle—selfish, patient, hopeful, frustrated—may be too complex for a toddler audience, and the facial expressions barely have the range to convey them. The simple, colorful art with the antic and irascible title characters will be the biggest draw.—Marge Loch-Wouters, La Crosse Public Library, WI

5.0 out of 5 stars My almost 3yr old LOVES this book, March 20, 2009

This review is from: Duck & Goose, How Are You Feeling? (Board book)

I bought this book for my daughter because she was such a huge fan of the other 2 Tad Hills books we have.

She was immediately mesmerized by this book. She wouldn't put it down. She was actually brushing her teeth with the book propped on the counter. I ended up letting her read herself to sleep (which probably wasn't a good idea as she was still up an hour later) She just LOVES this book.

What I love about the book is the dialog it started between my daughter and I. We discussed what was happening on each page and how that lead to the 'feeling' being portrayed. It was nice to discuss feelings and what happens when you feel a certain way. Very simple dialog in the book itself and the pictures do justice for the feeling. (in the typical Duck, Goose way)

I highly recommend this book- as well as the other Tad Hills book! (just don't give it to your peanut to take into bed, they won't go to sleep)

5.0 out of 5 stars Devon loves Duck & Goose! So does Grammy!, January 31, 2009

This review is from: Duck & Goose, How Are You Feeling? (Board book)

For quite some time, I've been buying books to save for my great-grandson Devon for future reading adventures. Who could resist the huge collection they have in today's market?

But when I came across these sturdy board books, I decided NOW is the time to really get him started on the first of many humorous, stimulating adventures with hilarious animal characters.

I started him on the first in this series What's Up, Duck?, and his happy reaction to the colorful pictures and funny characters made the second book mandatory. He enjoyed Duck & Goose, 1, 2, 3 just as much, so we were both sold on this series.

I just received Duck & Goose, How Are You Feeling? and can't wait to visit him for some more quality time together. Reading to Devon and being rewarded by his happy giggles, bright, sunny smile and warm hugs is one of the highlights of my life.

These books have such lovable characters it's hard to choose a favorite. In addition to Duck and Goose, Devon giggles as he points to Thistle and Bluebird. I think Bluebird is his favorite, but it's too soon to tell

This is a charming book. Author/Illustrator Tad Hills has a rare gift in two arts; he certainly understands what triggers children's laughter and stimulates their imagination.

Very highly recommended for pre-schoolers. You can't go wrong!

I bought the book for my 3 1/2 granddaughter. Her mother will use the book to help her child identify with the ducks how she feels at school when something happens. It is short and to the point.
