In this first gosling tale of lost-and-found rainboots, we meet Gossie, who shows us her keen sense of adventure along with a stick-to-it-ive-ness that is admirable—all the more admirable, I think, when we see her creative resolution to the dilemma presented by her best friend Gertie. Olivier Dunrea has authored and charmingly illustrated a whole collection of gosling tales, featuring more than ten unique goslings, each working out their own slice of life. Available as board books, picture books, and early readers, Dunrea’s engaging cast of characters keeps us guessing in the sweetest possible way.
