I remember the days when a perfectly good childhood friendship was altered by the appearance of a third person. Come to think of it, that happens in adulthood too. Watch Duck and Goose negotiate the addition of Thistle, a new duck in the neighborhood, to their twosome. Goose has to figure out if he wants to play Thistle's way or remain true to himself. Will he lose his old friend to this new arrival? Written for young children, this book contains some universal life lessons in an easily understa

My kids and I giggled our way through DUCK & GOOSE, Tad Hills' first book starring these two lovable characters. With DUCK, DUCK, GOOSE, our favorite quacker and honker are back -- but this time there's another character thrown into the mix, and three is most definitely a crowd.

This is a great story about sharring your best friend. I would use this book to teach the children about sharring frineds and being kind to one another. Duck finds a new friend to play with, and goose is a bit jealous. Duck plays with the 2 of them. The two new friends decide they want to play another game. Well duck does not like the new game. He get a little upset and is bothered that his friend has a new friend. In the end he learns how to share his best friend, and they live happily ever aft

This is a cute and fun picture book that is extremely characterisitic of Tad Hills and his style. I love the little goose and how he manages his responses to the annoying (but you can't help but identify with) Thistle. This is a great book for young children that will help them understand the delicate balance every kid learns about juggling more than one friend and finding a place in your life for all different types of friends and personalitites. Plus, it is just a fun book!

This story is the epitome of "Three's a crowd," especially when two of the three have very different personalities. Where Goose is calm, patient and enjoys peace and quiet, Thistle is loud, competitive and busy, busy, busy. This is a good book to read to children who are feeling competition or conflict in their friendships. We enjoyed reading this story together.

What a sweet book. Duck and Goose are friends, and then along comes Thistle to stir things up. She can do all sorts of things and she does them very well. Stand on her head, hold her breath... she's perfect! Goose just wants to smell the flowers and play with the ball. Can Duck and Goose stay friends since Duck's new friend Thistle is so different?

Longtime friends Goose and Duck are joined by Thistle, another duck. Thistle as a bit of a competitive edge. Whenever the boys want to do something, she either suggests something more exciting or declares and proves herself the best at it. Finally the boys find something that she is better at and it's a good thing: napping.

Duck and Goose are friends, and a new duck moves in. She annoys them by always being the best at everything and showing off. Then they get her to be the world's best napper so they can ditch her and play by themselves.
I got this book for my 16-month-old baby who loves her copy of What's Up Duck?: A Book of Opposites. This book is quite different, though, despite featuring the same characters and cute illustrations. She couldn't sit through more than two pages. Even my four-year-old l More...

This point of this book was beyond the understanding of my 3 year old. Thistle moves in and is good at everything. Goose feels left out and unhappy because he does not enjoy doing what Thistle wants to do.

What a horrible little book!
Good part: The illustrations are cute.
Bad parts: Everything else. The message is horrible and the conflict wasn't resolved right. The first few pages are full of unclear dialogue that would be hard for a kid to follow ("who's saying what?"). Characters aren't established right, nor do I feel they're represented well or developed appropriately.
Don't read this to your kids.

Yes! I think I love this book as much as my daughter does. She for some reason identifies with Thistle. We checked it out from the library and I am seriously consider purchasing it. My favorite part is at the end when Thistle says she is the a world champion napper! That has helped but my little one to bed!

The snotty, little, know-it-all duck never learns anything. They just trick him into falling asleep.
