It's Time for Christmas! (Duck & Goose Young Reader)

by Tad Hills (Author) Tad Hills (Illustrator)

It's Time for Christmas! (Duck & Goose Young Reader)
Our feathered friends are getting ready for Christmas. The only problem? Goose is more interested in skating, sledding, and making snow angels than in helping Duck decorate their Christmas tree. While Goose has the time of his life in the snow, it seems poor Duck will be left to do all the work. . . .

Tad Hills's simple text and vivid, expressive illustrations make this sweet, funny little book the perfect stocking stuffer. Preschoolers who loved the bestselling Duck & Goose Find a Pumpkin--or those meeting Duck and Goose for the first time--will be thrilled to own this charming winter tale.

PreS-K--The adorable Duck and Goose are back. Decked out in brightly colored wooly caps, the intrepid Goose tries his hand (well, wing) at all kinds of winter activities--catching snowflakes, sledding, making snow angels and elaborate snow geese and snow forts--while Duck tries to keep him focused on what really matters. Because, of course, it is really time for Christmas, which is represented by the birds decorating a tree. It seems a little sad that Duck is such a killjoy, stopping Goose from enjoying his winter fun, but that's a minor quibble. And the cover glitters! Cheery holiday fare for pre-readers.--Mara Alpert, Los Angeles Public Library
