Silly Little Goose!

We were given this book by our doctor after a check-up - I figured it was just a nice treat for the kids and they'd push it aside. WRONG! It turned out to be their FAVORITE book for over a year. It got so worn I bought the hardcover copy and we still read it on most days. There are pictures of all different animals, so if your kids are learning to make animal sounds, it's fun for them to point at the different animals and tell you what they say.

This book was given to my daughter for her first birthday in the paperback form. It quickly became her favorite and she even took it to bed some nights! She really liked the large amount of pictures, simple plot, and simple short sentences - it kept her attention span. Furthermore, the story really won her over when my husband or I would make the animal sounds. At the end, all the animals in the story were pictured together and we made a game of identifying each animal by having her point to the correct animal when we named it. Eventually, the cover came off the book from being well loved and it was finally lost at day care for show-n-tell. I just ordered a new copy!

My 6 year old and 3 1/2 year old love this story. They got it for Easter last year, and we have read it many times. They love to see the silly places the goose chooses for her nest. The illustrations are appealing--a nice Easter basket story!
