From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3?It's bad enough when one silly goose lives on the pond, but when another joins him and they start a silly family, all the other geese fly south in horror?in June. Pilkey's slapstick visual and concrete verbal humor combine with energetic, vivid full-color cartoons for a winning short chapter story. When a female goose arrives in a hot-air balloon to join silly Mr. Goose, she proclaims, "I will not fall out...Not unless I climb over the side and let go?like this." And she does. The pair are wed by a church mouse; to celebrate they have a party and throw a cake. Their children are named Ketchup and Mustard after the condiments they prefer on their ice cream. With plenty of action and simple dialogue, the Gooses join the grand tradition of Harry Allard and Jim Marshall's "Stupids" (Houghton). With humor tailored expertly for primary-grade children, these silly gooses will be welcomed by listeners and newly independent readers alike.?Carolyn Noah, Central Mass.

Cool as the best book ever wrote......,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Silly Gooses (Library Binding)
This is the best book I have ever read, and I am 12! Sensational, emotional, cool, funny, happy, sad, and everything else! Sue Denim and Dav Pilky have done the best work since "The Dumb Bunnies" series! The next "Silly Geese" title is sure to be a hit!
5.0 out of 5 stars
This is just a fabulous kids' book, period.,
This review is from: The Silly Gooses (Paperback)
I've got 3 kids: one in high school, middle school and elementary school. I've read a lot of children's books over the years and this is one of my absolute favorites. It is very silly and funny, but there is also a great message in there that it is okay to be different. That even if the bigger world doesn't get you, there is a mate/friend out there for everyone. You don't have to conform to be happy, pursue you own bliss, etc. If your family is quirky (like ours), this is book for you.
5.0 out of 5 stars
great book for kids of all ages,

My grandchildren, ages 10 and 8, ask for this book at bedtime often and never tire of the story.When it was "share" time in the second grade class, I came in to read and brought this book. The class was delighted.
