About the Author:
Trudi Braun's own geese, William and Dorothy, came to live with her when they were one-week-old goslings. They are now twelve years old and are great-grandparents. Trudi still feels especially close to her first pets, though today she has hens, cats, horses, sheep, and three children as well. She has wanted to write a book ever since she was a little girl, but this is the first one she ever finished.
John Bendall-Brunello drew on childhood memories of visiting his great aunt to illustrate MY GOOSE BETSY. His great aunt kept a cow, a goat, four pigs, and a vast assortment of geese, ducks, chickens, and turkeys.
From Booklist:
John Bendall-Brunello drew on childhood memories of visiting his great aunt to illustrate MY GOOSE BETSY. His great aunt kept a cow, a goat, four pigs, and a vast assortment of geese, ducks, chickens, and turkeys.
Ages 3^-6. A young narrator, who is seen only in the corners of the pages, introduces children to his goose Betsy: how she walks, how she "talks," and especially how she settles down on her nest and keeps her eggs warm until they hatch. Exceptionally informative, the text has a warm personal tone that makes the facts easy to absorb. The large format of the book allows for some large-scale illustrations, always a plus when a book lends itself to classroom reading, as this one clearly does. Illustrating the text with quiet precision, Bendall-Brunello's appealing watercolor-and-colored-pencil artwork features extreme close-ups and delightful action poses that individualize Betsy and her family. The book ends with two illustrated pages of "goose facts" identifying the type of geese shown in the illustrations and discussing goose eggs, nest sitting, gosling development inside the eggs, hatching, and newborn goslings. This most attractive introduction to geese may be cataloged as fiction, but it's better than most nonfiction for this age group; it's also a good choice for those springtime units on eggs.
