A cute story, for the most part, with a twist ending, believe it or not. It's about little goose and her mom. I particularly like that aspect as I read it to my grandbaby and my daughter is a teen mom. So I try to find some books where the mom is the main parent figure.

Little goose likes to eat grass. She wonders what the other animals in the barnyard like to eat. Her mom said, "Why don't you go and find out?" So that's what little goose does. She asks pig, who likes apples, to which little goose tries one and agrees.

She asks goat who likes socks, to which little goose does not agree. This I thought was clever. Getting across the idea to try new things although you may not like them. (Some kids are afraid to try new foods, of course socks may not have been the best example as who wants their child to try socks?) But I thought the sock thing was funny.

She asks cow next, who likes daises. Little goose then asks fox---and here is the twist ending. When goose asks fox what he likes to eat, fox says, "YOU!" At which point little goose runs home to the safety of her mommy. We then see fox sitting down to eat his real favorite food--strawberries.

As to the ending, I imagine some may not like the idea of fox wanting to eat little goose, even though we do find out it's not true. I perceived fox to be an adult animal as it did not say little fox. Some may find the ending a bit shocking, or maybe the fox coming across as a bully for scaring little goose out of her wits. But it reminded me of a little Red Riding Hood type ending (except for fox, in this case, really likes strawberries.) So a point off for the ending as I'm still not sure what I think of it, other than fox seeming like an ass to a youngster. Then again, it added a bit of suspense till I turned the page. :) ( )
