Goose and the Mountain Lion

Husband/wife teams often come up with the best ideas, and such is the case with this book for young readers. Marian Harris has penned a mini-mystery for children, while Jim Harris illustrates it with deft brush strokes enabling livestock to take on personalities and endearing expressions. The question is who is sneaking into goose's nest and purloining her eggs? We know what friends are for which is why all the barnyard animals rally around to help goose solve the mystery. Young readers will enjoy watching the steps that are taken to find the culprit.

My children have had this book probably since 1994 when it was first published. It is a book that has been read so many times it is beginning to fall apart. I do different voices for all of the animals, which the kids love. The story is humorous & entertaining. The pictures are beautiful and if the kids look closely they will know who is really taking the goose's eggs. I highly recommend this book!
