Little Goosey and Big Gander Goose need a place to hide from the storm. But everywhere they look, someone else is there already. In the ditch there's a small greywhiskered mouse; among the roots of a tall tree is a squirrel; in the cave among the rocks is a rabbit...Little Goosey doesn't want to share. Will they ever find a place just for the two of them?

Sam McBratney's many books include Guess How Much I Love You (shortlisted for the 1994 Kurt Maschler Award and the British Book Awards, Illustrated Children's Book of the Year), which has sold about fifteen million copies worldwide and was voted Children's Book of the Year by American booksellers. Among his other titles are The Dark at the Top of the Stairs and the Walker fiction titles Art, You're Magicl; The Green Kids; Flash Eddie and the Big Bad Wolf; Oliver Sundew, Tooth Fairy; In Crack Willow Wood; and Bert's Wonderful News. Sam is married with three grown-up children. Ivan Bates studied Illustration at Manchester Polytechnic. He has illustrated two other Sam McBratney titles, In Crack Willow Wood and The Dark at the Top of the Stairs.
McBratney and Bates (The Dark at the Top of the Stairs) sets another snuggly mood in this tale of a gosling and gander searching for shelter from a storm. When rain threatens, Gander Goose and Little Goosey hurry to find a place to hide. But each potential shelter already hosts an inhabitant?a mouse, a squirrel or a rabbit?and Little Goosey doesn't want anybody else around "when the thunder comes. Just me and you." In a comic twist, the pair finally settles into a secluded spot, only to discover, after the storm, that all the others had joined them anyway. McBratney's serene prose is as warm as a sheltering embrace, and he has a gift for zeroing in on childhood's universal longings. His audience will quickly see themselves reflected in Little Goosey's need to have Gander Goose all to herself. In a series of pastoral scenes rendered in watercolor and colored pencil and laced with gentle humor, Bates echoes the story's quiet tone and deftly outlines the affectionate relationship between the gander and his little charge. Small panel vignettes and inset portraits alternate with full-page artwork, lending additional drama and fluidity to the story, as well as a great deal of visual appeal. This pair of seasoned collaborators has delivered a winning return engagement. Ages 2-6.

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
