What's Up, Duck?: A Book of Opposites (Duck & Goose) Board book – Picture Book, January 8, 2008

The media could not be loaded. This Duck & Goose book contains great examples of opposites! It’s a great size board book and is a great addition to the Duck & Goose series!

This was our final Duck and Goose book purchase and we now have every single one! My son has loved these since he was a tiny tot. He’s reading them to me now and the characters have such a special place in my heart. I only wish there would be more books in the future. Thank you for being a part of my son’s childhood, Duck and Goose ❤️

My son loves all of the Duck & Goose books! I personally like them because they are super simple, so it’s easier to keep his attention lol. (He’s 2 &1/2) This one literally just has one word per page that correlates with the picture.

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.

Got the pack of three, me and my 4 year old princess read them all the time, and she reads along with me 😍she loves these books, and a the prefect size for them.

My daughter LOVES this book because she is a big Duck and Goose fan! I was a little disappointed with a few things. First of all the illustrations are substantially less detailed than some other Duck and Goose book. Any D/G fan knows the illustration and lifelike painting is half of the beauty of these books. Every other page is a plain white background, and the ones with color are a pretty basic green/blue combo. The book seems a little rushed to me like the author is trying to get out as many as he can while D\G are popular. My advice? Slow down and put the time in that made us love your books... like D/G find a pumpkin (a FAV) of ours!!! Other observations- some of the opposites are not clearly illustrated ex- happy/sad you can not see the happy face and heavy/light could probably be replaced with the glaringly missing big/small! Overall, not the best Duck Goose book, but baby loves it so that’s what made me give it 4 stars. Otherwise it would be 2 from me! If You are looking for an absolutely wonderful, well illustrated book, I would go with Duck and Goose Find a Pumpkin or Mistletoe instead. Both are top notch in my mind!*If you found my review to be helpful, please click the button below. Thank you!

Definitely a good book about opposites.

My 19 month old loves Duck and Goose - this book is helping us understand opposites including awake/asleep, near/far, up/down, and my favorite quite/loud. While the book only has maybe 20 words, we talk about the pictures we see on each page and explain things like the red butterfly is up and the blue butterfly is down. We've been working on inside voice vs. outside voice... so the quiet/loud page gives us a change to talk what it means to be quiet and what it means to be loud. Another great Duck and Goose installment from Tad HIlls.
