MONDAY: Duck and Goose

I am a huge fan of picture books, and these two are gems! In the first book, Duck and Goose discover an "egg" and each wants to protect it and teach its tiny occupant to be a duck or a goose. They fuss with each other about their differences until they discover that they have quite a bit in common.

In the second book, there is a new duck on the scene and she is a little... intense. And her intensity makes Goose feel so uncomfortable that he decides to leave. Can the friends learn to get along while not giving up who they are?

These stories are great fun to read out loud. I got them for my 4-year-old niece and she spent a week trying to hatch an egg of her own!
