Duck & Goose Find a Pumpkin
by Tad Hills

Though not the first Duck and Goose book, Duck and Goose Find a Pumpkin was our family’s introduction to the lovable waterfowl. Duck and Goose Find a Pumpkin, by Tad Hills is a charming short story of our feathered friends look for their pumpkin in all the wrong places. Is it in the stump? No. Is it in the apple tree? No. How about under the water? No! It isn’t until their friend Thistle walks by and suggests they look in the pumpkin patch that their quest comes to fruition.

This simply worded story is accompanied by beautiful oil paintings done up in a pleasing autumnal palette. Each spread features quintessential fall features, great for teaching young learners the vocabulary that describes this beloved season.

I chose this book in the hopes that by the time we make our own pilgrimage to the pumpkin patch – our first – the Bean can confidently point out pumpkin after pumpkin. It delivered! Now we can’t get her to stop pointing out pumpkins. That basketball? A pumpkin. Any and all decorative squash? All pumpkins.

A hit with the adults and the Bean. Duck and Goose Find a Pumpkin by Tad Hills is four eggs – a current favorite but not an all-time favorite.
