Funny, if a bit long

First things first, this book is a bit wordy as a readaloud. It *is* a funny book, though. Poor Briar Rose. A goose with dreams. Dreams of doing better than being stuck in a world of clucking chickens. Dreams of - what's this? Stories? About geese laying golden eggs? *holds up flashlight* IDEA! Yes, her bright idea was to paint eggs golden. And it worked... maybe a little too well. She got kidnapped. She almost got made into stew! Luckily, the day is saved when the farmers rescue her from the robbers... and the paint washes off her "eggs". Nice moral, neatly wrapped up ending, what more can you ask for?
