Duck & Goose Go to the Beach - by Tad Hills (Hardcover)

About the Book

"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"--

Book Synopsis

Take a trip to the beach with the beloved, classic, and New York Times-bestselling feathered friends Duck & Goose! Now an animated series, available to stream on Apple TV+!

Duck wants to go on an adventure. But Goose isn't so sure. Together, the two best friends set off on a walk that takes them through the meadow, past a shady thicket, and over a distant hill, all the way to a place they've never been before--the beach! Turns out, Goose loves the ocean. But guess who doesn't?

"Charming, funny, simple, and surprising. . . . Hills is master of the light comic touch." --The Boston Globe

Review Quotes

Kirkus Reviews, March 1, 2014:
"Soft oils transport the impressively simple, silly little figures of Duck and Goose in their floppy sun hats across single- and double-page spreads, from the greens of the meadow to the blues, whites and tans of sky, water and sand, while their expressive eyes and postures amply convey comic emotion and visual back story. Anyone ever simultaneously excited and nervous about leaving home and traveling to new places will identify with this droll duo on their first amusing trip to the beach."
