Book About Father Goose November 24, 2007
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Years ago on 20/20, I was thrilled by this story and how wildlife can touch our hearts and souls if we let them. They enrich our lives with their beauty and trusting loyalty. I have Canadas who come each day along with my Chinese pet goose to eat corn and sometimes wild ducks and when this story was aired on TV, I wanted the book to read more about it.
Thank you so much! Linda
