I would rate this book a 3 and a half, because the book is cute and I personally love animals but, there's not much action though.

The book is called Goosed! and Bill Wallace is the author. The books a short read that's 125 pages and I would recommend it for 7-10 or 11 year olds.

The genre is realistic fiction the story is kind of like Winn Dixie because they both have dogs and their very mischief.

The book is about a dog called T.P. She has a nice family but then her owner's girlfriend goes camping and they leave a puppy for T.P.'s family eventually they wind up keeping it. The story is told from T.P.'s point of view so it's like T.P. adjusting to a hyper little puppy who loves asking questions.

That puppy gets in a lot of trouble so you can imagine what that's like, woahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you see the cover after reading this, you will understand everything.

My favorite part is at the end. She looks so cute and cuddly wrapped in a little towel and they even have a picture its on page 125.

I like this book because it was funny and has dogs and cats!

Book Review- Goosed Name- John Liam
Very Good

This book, Goosed, by Bill Wallace is a very good fictional animal story. This story takes place in a house with a dog and with his owner, a boy named Jeff who has some problems with telling his parents things at the last minute. You see T.P. is a dog and he's always in a good mood even when he gets in trouble. T.P. got his name by causing a T.P. with toilet paper around the house, T.P. lives with a cat named Cord and Cord is a very sensitive cat because if someone tries to attack him, he scratches them like when T.P. tried to attack him, Cord gave T.P. a great scratch. T.P. always does something to make the mom and dad mad, like he scratches the window when he wants to show them something. But there's a problem, Jeff's friend Mandy Bowen had a liter of 6 pups. They sold 5 but they want Jeff to baby sit the last one when Mandy and her parents go on Spring break. Jeff is in big trouble because he said he'd take care of that last dog without, asking his parents. So now he's waited until the last minute to tell hi mama and daddy so they're furious with him because he told them on the day that Mandy was leaving.
The Problem is that when the puppy gets over to the house T.P. feels like that puppy is taking his place in the family because Jeff loves that puppy instead of T.P. For example- after T.P. does his business in the snow Jeff only let that puppy in and T.P. had to keep scratching at the porch door for 5-10 minutes. That's why T.P. is feeling that that puppy is replacing him. Any way, one day when Jeff, Mandy, Mocha (The new puppy), and T.P. went to the park to play. Problem was that Mocha thought a goose was her ball, so she swam after it. And when she got to the goose the goose saw Mocha and tried to drown her. T.P. swam after Mocha when the goose was drowning her and when T.P. got to the goose; T.P. and the goose started a WWE smack down. A few minutes later T.P. defeated the goose and Mocha swam out of the water.
When they got home T.P. started to like Mocha but she still kept asking him 300 questions at a time. So T.P. got used to living with Mocha but he still had to find out a way to shut her up. So she doesn't ask to many questions at a time. So if you read this story it's kind of funny and kind of scary.

A few weeks back I saw GOOSED! mentioned on several different blogs and thought it would be a great book for 8 yo "J" to read this summer. I ended up reading it to him a few chapters at time in the evenings, but that's okay because we both enjoyed it. The story is told from the point of view of T.P., the perfect buddy dog. He lives contentedly with "his boy" Jeff, Mama, and Papa. T.P. knows that he's a dog and they are people, but he doesn't really have a grasp of the fact that the differences between people and dogs are significant. He thinks they're all pretty much on equal footing. He also gets along great with the family cat, Cord. Then one day, a strange and annoying creature comes for a visit, and T.P. begins to feel displaced.

Author Bill Wallace has a great sense of humor, and "J" and I chuckled throughout this amusing little story. "J" particularly liked the explanations of how T.P. and Cord got their names. There's a lot of action to keep a youngster interested, and the story moves along at a pretty good clip. The goose itself doesn't make an appearance until almost the end of the book, but before that there's some cantankerous coyotes and a giant rabbit or two for T.P. to contend with.

At almost 9 years old, "J" certainly didn't need me to read this book to him, but I'm pretty good with voices and dialogue (if I do say so myself!), and Bill Wallace provided me with an excellent script. I think the parallels between T.P.'s experiences and any sibling rivalry between "J" and his sister were completely lost on him, but that's what this story is really all about: T.P. has to learn to adapt to a new member of the family and basically learn how to be a "big brother."


This book is a lot of fun and provides some postive lessions in a wholesome package. Bill Wallace has written dozens of books for kids, and we're certainly looking forward to bringing a few more home to our family!

The book I read was Goosed. The author is Bill Wallace and the number of pages is 125. The main character is a dog named T.P. and the setting is in the house and in the yard. I would give this book **** stars because it's not great, but good. I just love this book

There was a dog named T.P and a cat named Cord and they were Jeff's responsibility. When Jeff's friend/girlfriend asked him if she can drop of a chocolate lab puppy and pick it up on Saturday. He said yes with out his parent's permission. Now scenes the cat and dog know they hope that the puppy will be going away from them as soon as possible. But then T.P. gets used to the puppy and ends up trying to rescue her.

My favorite part was when T.P chased a deer and ending up getting into a fight with wolves. I like that part because you won't stop reading it until that part is over.


I like this book because it's exiting. It really gets me going so I can't put the book down. I also like this novel because it has animals in it and I really, really truly love them.

I would compare this book to a book called Fever Swamp. It is about these kids and they find a swamp. After the swamp they here howling out side their bedrooms. Just like Goosed, T.P notices howling too and then he finds the wolves.

I read Goosed, by Bill Wallace and thought this book was really good. The main characters are T.P., the old dog that tells the story, Jeff, the owner of the dogs, Mocha, the new puppy, and Mandy, the innocent gift giver.

This book takes place in present day America, on a lake in the middle of nowhere.
Goosed is a story about how to learn to help each other, even when you are having a hard time liking each other.

T. P. is an older dog that has had Jeff to himself all his life. All of sudden, Mandy gave a puppy, named Mocha, to Jeff. This left T.P. mad and sad all at the same time because now Jeff is taking less care of him and spending all his time with Mocha. T.P. wondered what would happen to all the fun he used to have with Jeff when they went bird hunting. But now he finds out it is his job to teach Mocha how to bird hunt.

Together, T.P., Mocha, and Jeff began to bird hunt. One time, T.P. did know what kind of bird he was smelling, and with Mocha following closely behind, they were trying to sniff it out. When they were both surprised and thrown into a dangerous situation that would change their relationship forever.

My favorite part is at the end. Because I can't give the ending away, all I can say, is that I really liked how their lives change.

GOOSED by Bill Wallace


This story is a realistic fiction with a dog name T.P. (Toilet Paper) Jeff, mom, dad, and dog name Mocha. The setting is at Jeff's mom's house, the woods, and the lake.

I couldn't think of another book to connect Goosed to, because I have not read many fictional stories about animals. I tend to read non-fiction material. I think though that I may look for other adventures like this in the future.

One day, Jeff thought T.P. was the best dog ever. Then, the next day, a new puppy came to the house and T.P. had to share the love with the new pup. He did not like sharing, especially with a never-ending, question-asking puppy. T.P runs away and meets up with some unsavory creatures in the woods. But, unsuspectedly, Jeff saves T.P.'s life with out trying. Mandy, Jeff's friend who had dropped off the puppy, finally comes back from her vacation to get her. They go on a hike in the woods with their dogs (T.P. and Mocha). While they are gone, Mocha runs after a goose. She runs into the water to catch it. T.P. is scared for Mocha and faced with a decision.

My favorite part of Goosed is when T.P. goes back into his childhood and remembers how he got his name. The author shared a hysterical story, using unforgettable details, to paint a picture in my mind.

I would recommend this story to anyone who has animals, likes to laugh, and may have problems with siblings or friends where they need to learn to help each other.

This book I'm am about to tell you about is called GOOSED by Bill Wallace. This is a spectacular nutmeg book I would say and most of the kids that I no that read it they liked it. Takes place at a boy named Jeff's. I would put this book is realistic fiction because of that a dog can be hyper and get you mad, but however it is fiction because there's a dog named TP telling the story. This book is kind of short so if you like short books but chapters this is your book.
The most important people in this book are a puppy named Mocha and a dog named TP, and a boy named Jeff. TP teaches Mocha probably almost everything Mocha is not Jeff's dog TP is. Jeff is taking care of the mocha for his friend Mandy. Jeff does not like Mocha when he first gets her. Because she is to hyper. Later in the book he gets attached to her so he tries to get his parents to let him keep Mocha.
I would say the best part in the book is probably when Jeff gets mad at Mocha for just having fun. I would say this part is the best because it was when he was in front of his parents trying to act nice to the dog even though he felt like hurting her.
I would give this book 4 stars because it was really good. I would say this book was really good because of my favorite part and it was funny when mocha kept on getting hyper those are my reasons for giving it 4 stars. But it could have been better.

Goosed by Bill Wallace takes place in present day life in the woods. is a story that can happen; it's a realistic story.
The main characters in Goosed are T.P, Jeff and Mocha. TP is Jeff's dog and he gets upset. When. Jeff takes in a puppy named Mocha. Mocha drives TP crazy with all his questions. Will Mocha stop bugging T.P?
My favorite part is when Mocha goes to live with Jeff and TP because it's funny when it makes TP crazy.
I recommend that 6th graders read this book. This is a good book because the puppy is cute and entertaining I give this book 4 stars.

I really liked this book!
It's about a bird-dog (T.P.) who lives nicely with his owners. But when they decide to watch their friend's dog, Mocha, they get a little attached...
I recommend this book! (Especially to kids who loves animals!)

In the story there is a dog named T.P. and a cat named Cord. One of Jeff's friends came over with a chocolate lab puppy and wanted to know if he could take care of her until Saturday. T.P. feels bad because Jeff only plays with the new puppy and not with T.P. Things go wrong when Jeff takes the puppy and says yes without his parent knowing.

The problem is that Jeff isn't playing with T.P. and T.P. gets jealous.

My favorite part is when T.P is trying to help Mocha from drowning by the goose. He is showing that he's a true friend.

I liked the book because the book was exciting it would be great book for anyone. If you were reading the book you wouldn't put it down.

I would give the book **** stars because the book is fabulous and who wouldn't like it. I also like this book because there are animals in it and I truly love animals.
