What's Up, Duck? by Tad Hills

What's Up, Duck?: A Book of Opposites (Duck & Goose)
Schwartz & Wade, New York, 2008.
Boardbook edition, 22 pages, ISBN 978-0-375-84738-7.

A beginning book of opposites featuring Duck & Goose from Hills' series. Uncluttered backgrounds accentuate the figures of Duck & Goose as they act out simple concepts for the very youngest learners.

Best for close-up use individually with babies and toddlers.

Print motivation is enhanced through having books to handle and read with parents and caregivers. Print awareness is developed through modeling right to left movement on the page, as well as page turning. Vocabulary development is broadened through hearing words and relating them to action on the page.

Part of Hills' award winning Duck & Goose series.
