Book overview

Celebrate love and friendship with the New York Times-bestselling feathered friends Duck & Goose in this sturdy board book, perfect for preschoolers! Now an animated series, available to stream on Apple TV+!

Goose is feeling sad. What does he need to cheer him up? He doesn't need a game of tag. Or to stand on his head. Or a happy song. What he really, really needs... is a hug from a good friend.

Praise for the Duck & Goose series:

"Duck and Goose have taken their places alongside Frog and Toad and George and Martha as fine examples of friendship, curiosity and problem-solving." --Kirkus Reviews

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