This colorful story is about Goofy's disastrous attempts to get to the clubhouse. Disney's dog-man tries many different modes of transportation, and all of them leave him in terrible trouble: he crashes his scooter, gets struck by lightning in his airplane, sinks his rowboat, etc. etc. Only at the end does he realize that walking to the Clubhouse is the best way to get there.

I didn't like it. Sure it's just a cartoon, but this book seems to discourage kids from being adventurous. After Goofy fails at each attempt, the text reads "No Goofy No! Scooting (as well as "flying," "rowing," "bouncing," "gliding," "skating," "surfing," "sliding" and "sailing") is not the way to go." The flying page shows Goofy's plane getting struck by violent lighting bolts, which come from a monster-faced thunder cloud.

The book includes a dozen flash cards. Each has an action word on one side and an illustation of that action on the other. An envelope to hold the cards is glued to the inside of the back cover.
