Book Descriptions
for What's Up, Duck? by Tad Hills
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
A pair of endearing concept books features a small duck and her playtime companions. What’s Up Duck? includes nine examples of opposites in the interactions among the duck and her friends (a goose, another duck, and a bluebird). From “front” to “back,” the lovely little book has tremendous appeal. In Duck & Goose 1, 2, 3 the same group showcases the numbers one through ten through their play. Amusing illustrations—these small birds are simply painted and charmingly irresistible—suggest a warm, fuzzy feeling of affection shared by the four feathered friends in the volumes—simply ducky! (Ages 2–4)

The stars of the bestselling Duck & Goose books return in this board book for preschoolers, this time, to introduce basic opposites. Now an animated series, available to stream on Apple TV+!
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.
