Duck & Goose, It's Time for Christmas!

October 1, 2010

PreS-K-The adorable Duck and Goose are back. Decked out in brightly colored wooly caps, the intrepid Goose tries his hand (well, wing) at all kinds of winter activities-catching snowflakes, sledding, making snow angels and elaborate snow geese and snow forts-while Duck tries to keep him focused on what really matters. Because, of course, it is really time for Christmas, which is represented by the birds decorating a tree. It seems a little sad that Duck is such a killjoy, stopping Goose from enjoying his winter fun, but that's a minor quibble. And the cover glitters! Cheery holiday fare for pre-readers.-Mara Alpert, Los Angeles Public Library
