Fun, sweet, simple story.
A wonderful book that I bought years ago for my daughter who loves wearing her red rain boots every day. She can still recite this book perfectly from memory years later. Youâll love it!

My 18-month-old’s favorite books!
Around 3 months ago, something clicked in my 18-month-old son’s brain, and a book he’d ignored for six months – Gossie & Gertie – suddenly became his favorite. I think it has something to do with his obsession with “ducks” – even if those “ducks” are, technically, geese.Well, this one is his favorite of the Gossie books we have. I read this about a dozen times in a row today, and then five or six more times scattered through the day. It’s bright and cheery and short enough to hold his interest, and the brilliant watercolor & ink drawings are eye-catching enough to hold mine! They are fun, quick, and very easy to look at – something I can’t say for many of my son’s other books.I recommend any of these books to parents of toddlers. They are fun, short, and simple. This goes double if your kid is strangely captivated by water-fowl.

Adorable story about sharing
I first saw this in a preschool classroom and then wanted to have it at my house for my young grandchildren. Itâs a cute story about a goose sharing a precious possession with a friend. The illustrations are simple, perfect for preschoolers.

Sweet simple story for parents to read to young children
This is a sweet story about a gosling (children will learn that a gosling is a baby goose; parents can talk about the names for other baby birds and animals) who loves red boots. (Very tiny red boots since goslings are smaller than newborn babies.) Concepts like in and out, up and down, over and under, are covered by Gossie’s adventures.Simple crisp drawings are on every page. I remember when my son was a baby and toddler that he was not enamored of the really modern artistic illustrations in some books I bought him as I was. I learned to stop buying those to read to him when he was young. This book keeps it simple.It will never been a classic like Green Eggs and Ham or Hop on Pop but it seems good to me. I do not have any grandchildren yet to try out the book on.

Sweetest Children’s book
I have bought this for each of my grandchildren and they love it. This one was for my 2 year old grandson and it’s his new favorite book. He wants to read it over and over. The story is so adorable and teaches a lesson to even the youngest ones about the importance of sharing. Arrived on time and in perfect condition.

El libro me gustó mucho pero a mi niño no tanto. Supongo que para un niño pequeño se hace aburrido el libro con un único personaje en cada página… La calidad del libro es muy buena, la historia bonita. Y las palabras son útiles para enseñar conceptos como backward/forward, uphill/downhill, rain/snow, under/over, etc.
