review 1: Although Duck enjoys spending time in the meadow with his best friend Goose, he longs for adventure. Goose is content staying where he is, but he reluctantly agrees to accompany Duck. Although the journey is long and tiresome, Goose surprisingly loves everything about the ocean while Duck does not. After the two of them return home, Goose is ready for their next big adventure while Duck is completely pooped out. I loved the change-about in this picture book, partly because it reminds me of so many vacations and friendships that I've had. The oil paint illustrations are handsome and show off the two friends' personalities perfectly. This is a great title for sharing with youngsters.
