Duck, Duck, Moose, written by Mary Sullivan, reviewed by Katy Golden

Summary:  When Duck, Duck, Moose, and a girl realize Goose is missing, they immediately go on a hunt to find him, coming across other farm animals, a locked gate, and a hive of bees in the process - only to have Goose return the next day from his beach vacation.

Straight Talk for Librarians: 
The song-like rhythm of the text and frequently repeated words make this an engaging read-aloud for younger students, who might find themselves chanting along. All words are simple, repeated frequently, presented through speech bubbles, so young children will have an easy time following along. Although the story might feel unfinished or stir up a few questions- why do they simply give up while concerned their friend is missing, and why were they not aware of Goose’s planned vacation? – those not overly concerned with plot will enjoy the silly hijinks and the chant-like quality of the words.
