A cute, sweetly illustrated fall board book. The plot is very gentle. Duck and Goose see their friend Thistle carrying a pumpkin and decide to get one of their own. They proceed to search for a pumpkin in a variety of silliness places such as in an apple tree and under the water in the pond untill Thistle reappears and suggests they look in the pumpkin patch.

Recommends it for:
toddlers - K
We took this out of the Lewiston Library's board book section. I can't remember now if Natalie chose this one or if I did because it had pumpkins. Duck and Goose are cute, and the background illustrations show the beauty of fall. Duck and Goose explore the outdoors to find a pumpkin looking in all the wrong places (including a nice illustration of a leaf pile). Older kids (preschoolers) might find this funny.
I wanted to like this story more. I can see it being good to use for positional lessons using characters that are well loved and familiar from read alouds. The problem for me is that I expect more story or more positional references-more SOMEthing. The pictures are lovely, I just wish there were more to this one. It might be that it suffers in comparison to the original Duck & Goose story.

We love Duck and Goose around here - how could you NOT? They are so stinking cute! Love the pics, the simple text, and the Fall theme. Ellie is a big fan too!
We had to return it to the library a few weeks ago, but our friend Misty recently (and unknowingly) saved the day when she presented this to us as a Halloween gift. Thanks, Misty!

Emily, Katherine and I love Duck & Goose Find a Pumpkin for the colors, directional language, and clear introduction to outdoor things of autumn. We read it several times in a row, a clear sign of a favorite. I only wish that as a board book it wasn't as large as regular picture book. Little hands can not comfortably hold this.
More straightforward than the original Duck and Goose.
The original has the subject headings: interpersonal relations-fiction, ducks-fiction, geese-fiction. This one, just pumpkins-fiction.
I have to admit, I'm not complaining. Duck/geese interpersonal relations are sometimes just a little too much for bedtime.

Lucy LOVES this book. We all enjoy fall-themed books around here, and the gorgeous oranges and deep-sky blues in the illustrations make you appreciate the colors of autumn. The story is witty, and it includes yes/no questions that keep a toddler's interest. I want to find more of his books.
As Thistle the duck walks by with his pumpkin, Goose and Duck wonder where their pumpkin is. They look in a log, a leaf pile, a tree, in the water and on a tree stump. Alas, no pumpkin. That is until Thistle suggests they try the pumpkin patch.
Great seek-and-find for babies/toddlers.

This is a cute tale of two friends working together to find a pumpkin. It can be used to discuss seasons, reflection, plant life, working together, using resources, and critical thinking. It is so simple, yet has a million talking points with the words and illustrations.

Absolutely darling illustrations! I love the Duck & Goose books. This one is suitably autumn-y as Duck and Goose look through apple trees and fallen leaves and such for a perfect pumpkin. So cute! Great seasonal title for the little ones.
Melanie library book November 2011
I don't like this book too much because I think it helped Melanie learn to say "no" to any question that is asked. Cute when we are reading the book, not so cute the rest of the time.

When they see their friend Thistle carrying a pumpkin, Duck and Goose each want one but they are having no luck finding any pumpkins until Thistle steers them in the right direction.
A very cute Autumn or Halloween book in which duck and goose go in search of a pumpkin of their own. They alternate in offering places it might be. Recommend for younger children.
The Duck and Goose books by Tad Hill (there are many!) are great to share with your toddler or early pre-schooler. Fun, simple stories, with bright and adorable illustrations!
Duck and Goose look everywhere for a pumpkin, the question is, where will they find one...
A fun book that introduces the idea of Fall, and pumpkins to students.

Liam LOVES the duck and goose books. Since we grow pumpkins, this was only fitting. Fun story of where not to find a pumpkin.
The words may not be memorable, but the illustrations are beautiful! They made me cry wishing that Autumn would come to Arizona.

Cute. Is the pumpkin in the apple tree? Is it in the leaf pile? Maren really enjoyed saying NO. Fav word right now.
This one is just charming. Simple, funny, beautiful illustrations. I don't mind reading this one over and over.
Excellent book for very young readers - contains beautiful, repetitive prose and colorful, lively illustrations.
Simple but sweet. Loved the illustrations and the characters of "Duck" and "Goose"...
Might try using the iPad and Overdrive app to read this book to PJ storytime Monday night.
