Synopsis
Being in charge is a job for one, and Gordon is happy to fill the role! So what happens when a rival appears on the scene? Especially when that rival is also called Gordon, and is equally bossy! Fur (and feathers) will fly, and one of them has to go, but how will they decide which one? Riotous fun with a gentle message about co-existence that mirrors the sibling rivalry that most families will recognise. The richly colourful art is packed with animals to identify and count.

About the Author
Jill Newton worked extensively in design and has illustrated many beautiful children's books for Bloomsbury, including WHERE ARE MY CHICKS, PLEASE DON'T CHAT TO THE BUS DRIVER and BORED CLAUDE.
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-Bossy Gordon the Goat thinks he's in charge. Then Gordon the Goose comes along and challenges him. The two animals have a series of contests to determine who's really the boss. When the final challenge leaves them both stuck on the barn roof, Farmer Gordon calmly proves who's really in charge. The goat is perfectly portrayed with a big mouth, glaring eyes, and a determined stance. With his feathers flying off the paintings, the goose is every bit as formidable. In contrast, the other farm animals look on with quiet interest. The farmer is calmest and most self-assured of all. The composition of each illustration brings movement and excitement to the pages. Particularly effective is the view looking down from the barn roof. The broad, flat areas of color have decorative and textural elements that bring plenty of detail and interest for multiple readings. These large, bright, and simple paintings are also excellent for storytime sharing. Although there is a lesson for bossy goats and geese, the humor in the text and illustrations keeps the story from being didactic.-Carolyn Janssen, Children's Learning Center of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH
