Review
When it is Sophie's first day of school, she is loath to leave Goose behind, but Mom insists that geese do not go to school. Strangely enough, Sophie thinks that she hears Goose following her and her Mom as they walk to school. Is Goose going to show up in class? With spare text, bright primary colors throughout, and only the bottom parts of grown-ups visible, this is a wonderful and quite amusing choice for kids just beginning school at any level from kindergarten and up through the earliest grades. I highly recommend this simple, spare tale for picture book collections, public and private.
Overall Book Score: very good
