Synopsis
Round things like pebbles and puddles and marbles and bubbles remind Little Goose of something, but he can't remember what it is. So he sets off on a journey in order to recall the special feeling he gets when he sees baskets and buckets and balls that roll. But Turtle's round rock isn't quite right, and neither are the flies that buzz 'round Frog's head, nor Mouse's round house, deep down in a hole.
Only when he returns home does Little Goose remember what makes him feel cozy and comfy, and happy, too-: -that most special place within the soft circle of his mama's wings. This timeless tale of coming home to a mother's love will ring true with explorers of all ages. Reviews“Apple’s full-bleed colored-pencil illustrations add appropriate warmth and gentleness to Mraz’s fable…”—Kirkus Reviews

Reviews
It’s hard to imagine a cozier story. Little Goose, a yellow gosling with a penchant for things that roll (balls, marbles, the number 8, the letter O), is trying to figure out why the concept of “round” is so comforting. Following a tried-and-true plot, the young animal moves along the beach to ask a series of amiable animals to solve his dilemma. Turtle notes his round rock makes him happy—but Little Goose just falls off. Frog says take a look at the flies zipping around in a circular fashion—but they just make Little Goose dizzy. Finally the gosling returns to his mother, where he finds that it is her embracing wings (not an egg, which some readers may predict) that he finds so wonderful. Idealistically rendered in whisper-soft pencil, the book has an old-fashioned appeal; except for one zany spread of Little Goose crammed into a mouse hole, the perspectives are kept as regular and soothing as the text. Occasional words in boldface—like Little Goose’s refrain of “Hoinkle-oinkle!”—make this a fun read-aloud option. Grades K-1. --Daniel Kraus
