Little siblings of Duck and Goose fans rejoice! The stars of the bestselling Duck & Goose and Duck, Duck, Goose return in this board book for preschoolers, this time, to introduce basic opposites. Goose carries an ohso-heavy log, while duck easily balances a light-as-a-feather feather. Thistle is one fast bird, but Goose is slooo-w. And when Duck is sound asleep, Goose is wide awake. With a simple text and colorful illustrations–plus the inimitable characters, of course–here’s a wonderful, and humorous, introduction to an important concept.
What's Up, Duck?: A Book of Opposites (Duck & Goose)

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
In what seems a natural extension of Hills’ uncluttered composition style and simple, toylike characters, the artist expands his Duck & Goose series of picture books with a board book. Helped by a new character, a bluebird, the three familiar feathered friends (Duck, Goose, and Thistle) demonstrate each of nine pairs of opposite words: front, back; near, far; high, low; and so forth. Very young children unacquainted with the characters may not find enough to engage their attention in the stripped-down scenes, which feature little more than birds, blue sky, and grass. The truth is, though, many toddlers will already know Duck & Goose (2006) and Duck, Duck, Goose (2007), both of which have ultrasimple texts perfectly accessible to young preschoolers, and for these children, a variation better able to stand up to their rip-and-chew ministrations may be just the thing. Preschool. --Jennifer Mattson

This review is from: What's Up, Duck?: A Book of Opposites (Duck & Goose) (Board book)
This colorful boardbook uses some charming drawings of four birds to illustrate the concept of opposites. There is a yellow duck, a gray duck, a blue songbird and a white goose. The words for the opposites are on each page.
Each scene shows the birds outside in the grass, doing opposite actions: * First they stand forward, then backward. * The gray duck screams while the blue bird whispers. * The gray duck leaps for joy while the goose sheds a tear. * The goose is close, the yellow duck stands far away. * The yellow duck walks slowly while the gray runs quickly. * The goose is clean, the yellow duck is muddy. * The yellow duck barely lifts the heavy goose while the gray duck balances a light feather. * The yellow duck has a butterfly on its head while the goose looks at one down on the ground. * Finally, the goose is awake while the other three birds sleep.

This book is absolutely adorable! If you've read anything else by Tad Hills, you know he has a great sense of humor and the illustrations in this book make our family laugh! They also so clearly demonstrate the opposite that my 2 year old reads this aloud to us, using the pictures as a guide. A wonderful starter book of opposites that is also really fun.

What's up Duck,
By book mom Beck (Midwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What's Up, Duck?: A Book of Opposites (Duck & Goose) (Board book)
I like this book. My girls love it and is a great way to teach opposites. It is very simple my 2 year old knows it by heart. I do add say for clean I say the "opposite" is dirty so they have that reference of the word opposite.
