Gossie & Friends, continued

So, really quickly-ish: Kate requested summaries of the other Gossie books, and I am happy to oblige.

You've met Gossie and Ollie. There's also Boo Boo, a small blue gosling who likes to eat. She eats everything in sight, even if it's not Boo Boo's food.



Which member of our family do you think is most like Boo Boo? Could it be...

this one?

Then there's Peedie. Peedie is a small, yellow gosling who sometimes forgets things.



This happens in real life, too.

Lee: Suz, have you seen my glasses?
Suz: Where have you looked?
Lee: Over the hill.
Suz: Have you tried under the hens?

Anyway, Peedie looks everywhere, and finally finds it on top of the egg (Ollie) that he had forgotten to turn even after Mama Goose reminded him.

Then there's the boot thief herself, Gertie. The thing about Gertie is that she and Gossie are friends. Best friends. So after taking Gossie's boots in the first book, she gets her own pair of bright BLUE boots in the sequel, smartly called Gossie and Gertie. Gertie follows Gossie wherever she goes, except when it's dinner time. Then Gossie follows Gertie to the grain bowl.

  2. These are the cutest stories ever!!!! I love them! I want copies for myself! Does the author draw the pictures too? I love the one of the two little geeses with their head in the same bowl and their boots on their feet. Darling. Just darling.
