Toddler-PreS—Sophie and her constant companion, Goose, go on a school trip to the farm. Though Sophie and her classmates have fun playing with the rabbits and feeding the lamb, Goose feels left out, and things get worse when he is scolded by a hen for accidentally sitting on her eggs and then falls in the mud. But a friendly goat helps put things right. Wall's loose illustrations, set against simple, colorful backdrops, are the perfect accompaniment for the reassuring, concise text. In his big green boots, drooping Goose is utterly relatable. Children learning to navigate social situations will find this a heartening selection, and there are a few quirky surprises here, too.
