From the publisher

Celebrate love and friendship this Valentine’s Day with the New York Times-bestselling odd couple Duck & Goose in this sturdy board book, great for preschoolers! Goose is feeling sad. What does he need to cheer him up? He doesn’t need a game of tag. Or to stand on his head. Or a happy song. What he really, really needs… is a hug from a good friend. Praise for the Duck & Goose series: “Duck and Goose have taken their places alongside Frog and Toad and George and Martha as fine examples of friendship, curiosity and problem-solving.” –Kirkus Reviews “Charming, funny, simple, and surprising. . . Hills is master of the light comic touch.” –The Boston Globe
