I really liked this book because it shows that friendship can grow out of frustration and anger. Duck and Goose did not like each other in the beginning of the book but by the end they were best friends. I also liked the illustrations in the book. They were super colorful and funny to see the expressions on both Duck and Goose's faces. Duck and Goose discover a beautiful egg, and each lay claim to it in this hilarious picture-book about mistaken impressions and unlikely friends. Sitting upon the egg together, they gradually transform from rivals to allies, planning what they will teach the newly-hatched bird, when it finally emerges. Imagine their surprise and chagrin, when a little bluebird alerts them to the fact that they are sitting on a ball! The central premise here, in which another object is mistaken for an egg, reminds me a bit of Swedish author/artist Elsa Beskow's classic picture-book, The Sun Egg, in which an orange is mistaken for a 'sun egg' by an elf. Leaving that association aside, Duck & Goose is an immensely appealing title in its own right, pairing a humorous, entertaining, and ultimately heartwarming tale with vibrant, colorful artwork. Recommended to anyone who has read and enjoyed such stories as Dr. Seuss' Horton Hatches an Egg, or who is in the market for fun friendship tales. In my opinion this is a great book with a powerful main message. I believe the main message of this book is about building friendships with people who are different than you. The language is descriptive, patterned well and clear. The writing is engaging, organized and is paced well, which makes this a great book for performing a think aloud with a class of students. The characters are animals, but children will be able to understand the symbolism. The point of view is third person. The plot is organized and paced well, the tension and conflict are clearly understood. The illustrations help to enhance the story, and the style fits the story, such as representing the ball as a possible egg. This book pushes readers to think about tough issues, and it helps to broaden perspectives on making friends with people who are different from you. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
