I was fortunate to happen upon this book--my 21 month old son loves it and asks for it by name every night. It's has the kind of story that keeps kids engaged, and has a fun ending that even parents will enjoy. The rhyming text makes it great fun for kids to complete sentences as we go. Plus, there is the added feature of there being a small duck bystander on nearly every page, which is great fun for children this age to find, over and over...

My daughters are 6 years old and, we just discovered these books. They absolutely love them and, so do I. These are fun and original - they make reading fun for everyone. Thanks to the authors and illustrators. The pictures are adorable, too. It's hard to find books with great stories and pictures but, these have it. Thanks again. We hope to get the entire series.

This review is from: Goose on the Loose (Phonics Readers) (Paperback)

These books are easy to read and great for age 3 and up. I would even buy it for younger children age 1 and up. They love hearing the sounds and the story. It's cute, beautifully illustrated, colorful and fun. A great book to help children learn to read. This is a flap book and a board book which makes it sturdy and durable. Also, there is a hidden duck on each page for them to search for. They get a thrill when they see it. There are lots of animals to name and talk about. A great phonics books, reading book, easy to read book and I recommend it highly. Very useful.
