About the Book

Duck, duck, goose! Moose? From acclaimed author-illustrator John Hare, this funny picture book follows two ducks, a goose, and their unexpected friend, Moose, on a surprising journey. For fans of Suzanne Lang’s Grumpy Monkey and Kelly Bingham and Paul O. Zelinsky’s Z Is for Moose

Join Duck, Duck, and Goose as they soar through the skies, leaving the cold weather behind on their annual migration south. Will Goose and friends catch a ride on a caboose? Will Duck’s truck get stuck in the muck? And why is there a moose in this book? Wait, where did Moose go?

John Hare, the acclaimed author-artist of A Mouthful of Minnows, has crafted a hilarious picture book full of rhyming wordplay, exuberant illustrations, and friendship—and featuring a sly nod to seasonal migration. Duck, Duck, Goose! is an innovative, playful, and unpredictable picture book that begs to be read again and again, making it a wonderful choice for emergent readers as well as family and storytime sharing.

John Hare

Biography

John Hare worked as a production artist, graphic designer, and art director before realizing that he wanted nothing more than to bring stories to life for young readers. His popular debut picture book, Field Trip to the Moon, was called a “close encounter of the best kind” by Kirkus Reviews and was named to numerous best-of-the-year lists. He is also the author-illustrator of the acclaimed A Mouthful of Minnows and Duck, Duck, Goose! John Hare spent much of his youth drawing comics, writing silly stories, and exploring the countryside of Southeast Kansas. The artist lives in Missouri with his family. 

Reviews

“[A] riotous book perfect for kids ready to spread their own wings as brand-new readers. . . . They’ll fly through this tale with plenty of giggles. . . . A funny, high-flying exploration of sound words that’s perfect for plucky new readers ready to let loose.” — Kirkus Reviews

“[This] wacky story. . . takes readers on a wild ride. . . . Hare’s engagingly composed cartoonlike illustrations. . . take the wheel from the stripped-down text, heightening the absurdity. Effective page-turns, text placement, and punctuation enhance the spot-on comedic timing. . . . Flying south for the winter may not always be this chaotic—but these snowbirds sure stick the landing.” — Horn Book Magazine
