Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"That egg is mine! I saw it first," says Goose. "I touched it first. It's mine," declares Duck. Like James Marshall's George and Martha, and Rosemary Wells's Benjamin and Tulip, Duck and Goose have to work at getting along. You see, Duck doesn't much care for Goose at first — and Goose isn't fond of Duck — but both want the egg that each claims to be his. As the two tend to their egg, and make plans for the future, they come to appreciate one another's strengths. And when a bluebird points out that it isn't really an egg — it's a polka dot ball — the two are not dismayed. After all, it is a lovely ball.... Filled with humor that young children will appreciate — and recognize! — and starring two unforgettable characters, Duck and Goose has all the ingredients of a classic-in-the-making. Review:"Olivia wants Duck and Goose for her birthday. Not the book, she's read the book, she loves the book. Now she wants Duck and Goose." Ian Falconer in The New Yorker Review:"The colors are delightful, the whimsical portrayal of each bird is attractive enough, and the text weaves it all together in a happy resolution in this wonderful story of sharing, conflict resolution, humility, and even play. Mr. Hills has a bright future ahead of him if this book is indicative of forthcoming works." Children's Literature Review:"The cartoon-style oil paintings set against soft-focus, almost impressionistic backgrounds keep Duck and Goose center stage, and their expressions are priceless. A sweet addition." School Library Journal Review:"Duck and Goose's gradual shift from adversaries to partners to playmates is indicated artfully by effective but subtle changes in book design and text. Readers will likely hope to see more of this adorable odd couple." Kikrus Reviews Synopsis:A friendship book perfect for the holiday season One clear night, Bear makes a wish on a twinkling star and Mouse joins him in waiting for the wish to come true. But the other animals who come by all have advice for Bear. "Don't tell anyone," says Owl. "Close your eyes," says Fox. And Elephant suggests standing on one foot. Before long, all of Bear's friends are there. "What did you wish for?" asks Mouse. Bear's answer will bring a smile to even the very youngest readers. Simply told and wonderfully illustrated, Make a Wish Bear reminds readers what's most important in life--good friends.
