Meet Chester - an obstinate, lovable, one-legged goose, a Canadian honker who is destined to become the main course for Old Mr. Larson's Thanksgiving dinner. He is the charge of young Travis Tilby, who has agreed to raise the bird for his landlord's meal, but who realizes midway through the project that he loves his feathered pet with all his heart and soul.
This is an account of Chester's misadventures, and of the family who has the dubious privilege of raising him. The story also explores the effects of competition upon young and old alike, and it examines in detail many facets of family life - love, honesty, self-esteem, discipline and responsibility. In a way uniquely their own, the Yorgason brothers create a heart-warming and laughable family experience.
