Goose is back in an all-new school adventure! Everyone knows geese don’t go to school. So when Sophie hears flappy footsteps in class, it can’t be Goose, can it? HONK! It is Goose! There’s nothing better than a surprise visit from a friend, especially at school. Reading this heartwarming follow-up to Goose , readers will delight in Sophie and Goose’s next fun-filled adventure. PreS-Gr 1—In this sequel, Sophie, the young heroine of Goose (Harper, 2015), is about to start school. "But Goose can't come…. Mom said geese don't go to school." Goose, however, is obedient only to his own whims—and he's better at hiding than Mary's little lamb. After recess, Goose chooses to linger on the playground, but he has already helped Sophie make a bevy of new friends. The text is as spare as the brightly colored, thick-outlined drawings, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions about characters' emotions and whether Goose will continue to attend school. Both children and adults will enjoy this refreshing spin on the back-to-school formula. VERDICT The appealing simplicity makes this book appropriate for very young audiences, while the quirky humor extends its appeal to younger grade school students and emerging readers.—Rachel Anne Mencke, St. Matthew's Parish School, Pacific Palisades, CA Goose is back in an all-new school adventure!
