Customer Reviews

Perfect for my 3 year old!!

My 3 year old son has a hard time sitting still for any books, but these seem to work! He loves the bright pictures, short sentences, and funny humor! Great for both my kids (ages 3 and 5)! Would recommend to anyone!!

AN EVERYDAY FAVORITE

What a wonderful little book. My daughter, who is soon to be 2 years old, reads this about a thousand times a day. She knows every single word by heart and she "reads" it out loud over and over. The illustrations are great, and the text is simple, and yet somehow, I never get sick of it. I am now searching to stock up on more Gossie & Gertie books.

MY DAUGHTER LOVES IT.

This is a cute sturdy book that my daughter loves and enjoy, she loves when I read to her so I already got her some other 4 books from the same collection. They are very durable, also, the illustrations are very cute and the story is endearing.I will keep buying them.

Another great Dunrea book!

I've come to love Olivier Dunrea's books as much as my 2 year old son. They are so fun to read that I don't mind reading them over and over at the request of my son.

Friendship conquers bossiness

Although the story revolves around two goslings, it is really the universal story of seemingly uneven friendships.Gertie proves that it's OK to follow your own lead from time to time. Gossie's increasingly angry requests for her friend to follow her go unheeded, until she learns that sometimes it's OK not to be the leader.The illustrations seem very simple at first, but are worth a closer inspection.
