The Goose That Almost Got Cooked

The story is about a goose who alawys did flips. So one day she got really tired and fell. Then she fell asleep and the next day she went to a farm. When she was there she almost got cooked.I recommend this book for kids who like adventure and like cooked goose! Michael F.

Emily the goose

Emily the goose did fancy loops and stunts while flying. Emily's antics got her in trouble when the flock was migrating. The stunts made her too tired to keep up and she landed on a farm with a farmer, his wife, and their flock of domesticated geese. Things go well until Emily notices a goose is missing. Emily searches for the missing goose and finds a pail of goose feathers. Emily's expression reveal horror and fright. Happily Emily is able to escape. The story gets funny during Emily's escape attempts. I like this book because younger children can look at the pictures and understand the story.
