      Three birds have a food truck showdown at the beach. Two ducks busily set up their taco truck for the day. They're saving to purchase a boat (to give them a rest from all that paddling, of course). But suddenly, a rival food truck shows up on their turf. It's Goose, who's selling burgers, fries, falafel, and more. Uh-oh. Looks like the ducks are facing some stiff competition. May the best food truck win! When the beach gets crowded, everyone flocks to Goose's truck. "Duck. Duck. Taco truck. / Seems these pals are out of luck." The ducks trudge wearily away in defeat. Goose, however, is having troubles of his own. He can't keep up with demand. Swallowing his pride, he calls out, "Didn't mean to ruffle feathers. / Maybe we could...work together?" The three decide to join forces and come up with a whole new menu for a collaborative truck, playing to all of their culinary strengths. Rhythmic, clipped verses match the energy of the three feather-flying entrepreneurs. Short, staccato bursts infuse the narrative and the lively art. The beachgoing humans who make up the birds' customers (along with a few animals, including one penguin) are racially diverse. A tasty treat that encourages everyone to forgive and lend a wing. (Picture book. 3-6)
