What's What's Up, Duck? About

Publisher Summary

A quacktastic Easter read! The stars of the bestselling Duck &amp; Goose and Duck, Duck, Goose return in this board book for preschoolers, this time, to introduce basic opposites. In this ALA-ALSC Notable Children’s Book, Goose carries an oh-so-heavy log, while duck easily balances a light-as-a-feather feather. Thistle is one fast bird, but Goose is slooo-w. And when Duck is sound asleep, Goose is wide awake. With a simple text and colorful illustrations-plus the inimitable characters, of course-here’s a wonderful, and humorous, introduction to an important concept.
