Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Duck, Duck, Moose! Where is Goose? Help four friends search for Goose in this laugh-out-loud rhyming picture book from Geisel honor winner Mary Sullivan, perfect for reading aloud and for fans of I Yam A Donkey and The Bad Seed.



Duck, Duck, and Moose are playing a quiet game of cards when their friend comes running to ask: Where is Goose?



Duck, Duck, and Moose search high and low and get directions from some barnyard friends, but Goose is nowhere to be found. Calm, calm, calm, their friend tells them. Don't freak out. But what are they to do when the day draws to a close and they are snuggling up for bed with no glimpse of Goose?



This goofy, kinetic story is as fun as the original Duck Duck Goose game itself.



Ages 3-6.
