Duck & Goose Find a Pumpkin
Duck & Goose have become favorite characters to my son. It's always nice to only do two voices when reading a book aloud, so I'm a fan as well. We live in New Hampshire, and lately it's hard to turn a corner without seeing pumpkins.
I like that these characters are flawed, but since they have each other - they can just look past it all. Simple character design and art can often limit the storytelling, but Tad Hills always makes Duck & Goose show you just how they feel. Without arms! Oh, the challenges illustrators must face. We're just at the tail end of reading board books, but sometimes humor comes in small packages.

We enjoy Duck & Goose here too. I haven't seen this one about a pumpkin though. I'll have to look that up!
I love Duck & Goose books! They are so rich in color and the characters are so adorable. I find them soothing, don't know why. There is a simplicity and calm tone to them. One of my faves :o)
The spread you are showing here is so sweet! I see what you mean about the illustrator showing emotion with limited means.
This looks great. I love the pictures, and the colour.
I hadn't come across Duck and Goose before, so thanks for posting about them :)
