Customer Reviews

Just a wonderful book.

My daughter loved this book. She is ten now and on to chapter books but this book was so important to her when she was just beginning to read. We read it over and over and over. For a long time it was all she wanted to read. We also have a tape that sets the book to music. The rhyme of this story goes great to music. For a long time we listened/read this over and over in the car. The illustrations are so wonderful, this goose is so naughty, and the little girl is in every picture chasing this adventurous goose. It turns out the goose wants to fly high with the wild geese in the sky. At the end there is this beautiful dream sequence of the little girl dreaming of all the gooses adventures. Just a beautiful book. Thank You Steven Kellogg for your beautiful illustrations and thank you Reeve Lindbergh for the great story. I will always remember this book and how much my daughter loved it.

Don't hesitate, buy it.

This is one of the best books I ever read to my kids. And they usually picked it first for bedtime reading. It is written in rhyme and the illustrations are absolutely wonderful.

FANTASTIC!

This is a great rhythmical story that supports early readers because of it predictablitly of the story. The antics are fun and exciting. Also, the illustrations are absolutly FABULOUS and is what kept me interested as a child and still today as a new teacher.

all time favorite

This book is one of my all time favorites. I started reading to my children when they were babies - it has great rythm. It is delightful for adults, and my children have always been riveted. My one year old twins stop whatever they are doing to listen to the story whenever I start reading it. (I even "read" it to them in the car or bath because it is an easy little poem to memorize!)

Reading made easy...and FUN!

Written in rhyme, this book makes it easy for young readers to experience the thrill of reading all by themselves. Of course, the goose's antics only add to the excitement. This is a great book to motivate your preschooler to want to learn to read.
