About this Item
A boy tricks his grandfather into giving him a dollar to buy a pet goose, and the grandfather swears he'll eat the goose for dinner. "The story of how the goose became a hero and earned a permanent place on the farm for himself and his friend the duck is full of the warmth, humor, and insight that have made Meindert DeJong's name synonymous with storytelling magic" (from the dust jacket).
