I couldn't disagree more with the previous commenter. Yes, it is a very simple story. Isn't that the point? We wouldn't want our kids reading Voltaire right off the bat. Getting back to the book...

A simple story, colorfully and beautifully drawn. When we read it to my 16 month old, she is drawn to the boldness of the illustrations. She often sits, turning pages and looking at the pictures while telling us a story. When we read it to her we add lots of sound effects. Lots of fun.

A short, sweet story that kids will enjoy. The story is short and simple enough for toddlers and is enhanced by bright, cheerful illustrations. Kids will love it when the fox gets a kick in the behind.

I borrowed this book from the library and my 3-year-old just fell in love with the story. I recently purchased my copy on Amazon.com. It has great illustration and a simple plot for little ones to follow.

It's about a goose that was very lonely and different from the other geese. A fox comes to chase the geese every full moon night, but the fox never chases the lonely little goose. The lonely little goose saves all the other geese, the other geese finds out how smart the lonely little goose is and is never lonely again.

It uses small words, only a few sentences on every page so your kid won't lose his/her attention span while you're reading. It's definitely a story that I don't mind to read over and over and over.... at least so far. I love it.

My twins love when I read this book to them at night. The bright large illustrations are very attractive and are easy for them to identify the different objects in the book. It's a fun story about a goose who is not exactly part of the gaggle because of his different ways, but he's actually the smartest one of the bunch. Which gives a lesson,don't always judge a book by it's cover.

I don't know who this author is trying to fool. Geese are naturally dirty, stinky animals. Have you ever smelled a down pillow? This is just a stupid little story about a nasty, dirty little goose who refuses to bathe, and tricks other geese into not bathing and into getting even stinkier and dirtier than they might have ordinarily been and manages to hide from an even stupider fox (who, if it had any sense, would not be cavorting about with such nasty animals anyway). I guess cleanliness is not next to Godliness for geese. That's probably why we can shoot them, cook them, eat them, and use their feathers to keep us warm too (if you choose to put their filthy feathers next to you that is). Avoid this tale at all costs.
