One of the best Books I've read,
By Joe Callanan (Canberra,AUSTRALIA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: BORKA: THE ADVENTURES OF A GOO (Dragonfly Books) (Paperback)
This is a book no-one could forgot. The adorably cute story about a young goose called Borka who, when born is without feathers. She is very unusuall so her parents call the goose doctor and his mother ends up knitting some feathers for Borka. Borka becomes upset and is teased and ignored by the other geese. The time comes when all the geese fly away and forget and leave Borka behind. Later on she comes across some boats and becomes friends with one of the Captains. She travells far with him to London were she is placed in a park with geese that like and love her and she lives happily ever after! .

Borka,

This review is from: Borka: The Adventures of a Goose with No Feathers (Hardcover)
This was my favorite book as a child, and I have shared it with my own children. It is a story about being different, and how that's not necessarily a bad thing. Borka is a very different kind of hero.
