Duck & Goose Go to the Beach
by Tad Hills ’81
Schwartz & Wade Books, April 2014
Duck and Goose have shared, explored, learned and quarreled in a long series of picture books, every time returning to the importance of their friendship. Duck & Goose Go to the Beach is the tenth book in the New York Times bestselling Duck & Goose series. Duck wants to go on an adventure. Goose doesn’t. He doesn’t see the point. After all, why would they go anywhere when they’re happy right where they are? But then Goose sees the ocean and loves it. Who doesn’t? Well, Duck, for one!
“Hills’s illustrations are rendered in bright oil paints that capture meadow and sea with equal vivacity. Duck and Goose, of course, are their usual comically at-odds selves, this time nicely illustrating the benefits of both adventurous and cautious personalities.” — Booklist Review
