Toddler-PreS—The Geisel Honor book is given a sturdier edition for small hands. The gregarious Goose interrupts Bear's reading and writing. The fowl's bubbling personality can't help but win over Bear, despite his intention of having a quiet afternoon. The spare text celebrates friendship, reading, and writing and is perfect for emphasizing early literacy practices. The figures' body language and facial expressions will induce giggles, and the sumptuous blues and whites will invite repeat reads.
