A little girl obsessed with geese dreams one night that she is visited by a Canada goose who takes her on the ride of her life as she migrates north with the gaggle for the spring and summer months, seeing goslings hatch and grow before migrating back south for the colder seasons.

This book incorporates a lot of factual information about geese and their migratory patterns in a way that is fun and engaging for young children. Even the young toddlers in my class loved this book and paid close attention to it. They loved saying "honk! honk!" with the geese and stopping to count the number of geese flying in the V formation. The illustrations are definitely rooted in realism but having just enough element of cartoony gentleness and color to be appealing to young readers. The book ends with some facts about geese and other migratory animals for those readers who will want to know more after finishing the narrative. ( )
