- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2025Adorable story for toddlers
- Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2024We are big into books in our household and probably have too many books already, but this is hands down the best book we’ve never bought! Our 19mo old is already “reading” it. She knows when to say “no” when they’re searching for the pumpkin. She frequently brings it to us to read with her. It’s the most amazing thing watching her learn! Love it!! Bonus points that it’s big!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2025This book is easy to read and short enough my 2.5 year old can “read” it from memory. Cute seasonal story
- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2025My granddaughter loves this book. It's her favorite. I think its the pumpkins and the ducks. It's a really cute book for toddlers. I love it myself!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2024My daughter likes to collect Holiday board books for her sons and this was a great addition to their collection! Great book and nice size and quality!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2024I got this for my 4 year old after he found the original Duck and Goose and absolutely loves it, and I'm slightly disappointed in the lack of dialogue in Duck & Goose Find A Pumpkin. Still a very cute book though
- Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2024Bought this for my granddaughter who is obsessed with ducks. She wants it read over and over.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2017I love this series of books so maybe I'm a little biased. But this is a shorter simpler text for the youngest of fans while featuring the characters of the original duck and goose book that my older book nerd loves so they both clamor to read this. In fact my young toddler, at just over a year, almost always refuses to read books but this is one she continuously picks up and will sit through. The bright simple illustrations are a big draw. The repetition of the word "no" is something she can repeat well as one of the first recognizable sounds she could make which I think she liked to show off. Plus for as simple as the story is, I still get a little level of entertainment from it. I personally think this is a great book for a young baby or toddler and I have bought this for other families as a gift. Love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the best !!
As every book from the Duck and Goose Series, this one is just awesome !
Ted Hills really nails it with the short, simple and witty text ! His illustrations are one of a kind and this book as the others are our all-time favorites! we bought the first book out of that series when my little one was six months old, and now at 2. Five years old he still can’t get enough of those to hilarious friends !

5.0 out of 5 stars Süß!!
Duck and Goose sind schrecklich süß, abenso ist es dieses Buch.
Vorischt allerdings, es handelt sich um ein kleines Bilderbuch mit wenig Text und sehr wenig Seiten.
Fraglich ist auch, ob die kleinen Kinder, für die es gemacht ist, die Ironie am Ende des Buches verstehen. Für die "Großen" ist das Ende jedenfalls zum Schmunzeln.
Einfach nur total süß!
