Reviews
I have just finished a wonderful book for 3 to 8 year olds.
It's about a Goose (Gertie) who believes she knows everything. She quickly learns, however, that being stubborn gets her into trouble. She must use her initiative to get herself out of difficulty.
I think this bedtime story that everyone can enjoy has powerful lessons for children to learn about the wisdom of elders.
I love the wonderful hand drawn images on every page and I especially like the short quiz at the end and the images for children to colour in.
A thoroughly enjoyable book that both parents and children will love.
I give it a very well deserved 5 stars.
Very much enjoyed this story. A lovely pace and rhythm to the read and great use of the English language. A treat of a read, I’m looking forward to the follow up!

This is a wonderful story and so well written. I purchased the audio book which was lovely to listen to. Excellent use of the English language with a great story line.

The first thing that caught my eye was the beautiful front cover, which immediately made we want to see more. The illustrations are simple but effective and match the story, which is captivating, perfectly. It reminded me of a business book I read many years ago with a very similar message. This book is perfect for kids. It’s beautifully written and engaging with a quiz and colouring page in at the back.
