Honk, Honk, Goose!

Honk, Honk, Goose!

by April Pulley Sayre
illustrated by Huy Voun Lee
Henry Holt and Company, 2009

Two Canada geese meet, mate, and start a family. Mother goose makes the nest and lays the eggs. Father goose honks and stands guard, chasing away anyone who comes too close. The chicks hatch and follow mom and dad as they waddle on the shore and paddle in the pond. The story is simple but full of information, and it’s told with verve and charm. Large, lively, textured cut-paper illustrations add to the appeal. Children will have a great time honking along with father goose in this fun read-aloud.
