I liked this book for two reasons. First, I really enjoyed the illustrations throughout the story. The illustrations covered every page in the book and really helped to tell the story. They were very detailed and were made using many colors. For the illustrations on each page you were able to see the little duck and the big duck who were on a mission to find the golden egg throughout the story. The book was also interactive with the illustrations. On most of the pages there was a piece folded over that you could lift up to see the color of the egg that was being talked about in that part of the story. The color of the egg was also made with a shiny textured paper which made it stick out from the rest. For example, on the last page the egg was purple, green, blue, red, yellow, and gold. However, the gold was shown with the shiny paper so that was the color that stuck out the most to me. Another reason that I enjoyed this book was the rhyming in it and the way the words flowed. While reading this story the words read very smoothly since they rhymed. This made the book much easier and fun to read. An example of this from the last page is, “So off they set and soon they find a Goose upon her nest. She looks a little puzzled when she hears of Ducks request.” In this part, the words nest and request rhyme. There are many more examples of rhyming throughout this story.
The main idea of this story is to keep trying at your goal if you have one. The little duck’s goal throughout this story was to find a golden egg. He never gave up on this idea, and it eventually paid off. After finding many other colored eggs, he eventually found a golden one and was finally satisfied with an egg. ( )
