Like Ivy Cottage, which introduced these characters for the first time, Goose Eggs pairs a sweet, heartwarming story with charming illustrations. The artwork has a certain folksy feeling to it that puts me in mind of illustrators such as Mary Engelbreit, although Taylor's use of color is far more restrained. My favorite scene, from an aesthetic perspective, was undoubtedly the one in which Ruby's treehouse animal hospital is depicted, with Ivy Cottage in the background. This mirrors my experience with the first book, in which my favorite painting was the one of Ivy Cottage itself. In thinking about why this might be, I'm reminded of the cozy little house in Gladys L. Adshead's What Miranda Knew, a much beloved picture-book from my early childhood. Perhaps Ivy Cottage appeals to me so strongly because it speaks to me of the little house in that book. However that may be, although I wouldn't describe this as destined to become a personal favorite, I did find it appealing, and look forward to reading the third story about these characters - The Thorn Witch - as part of my witchy picture-book project. Recommended to anyone who enjoyed Ivy Cottage, and to somewhat older picture-book audiences (perhaps ages 5-7?) who enjoy stories about sentient dolls. ( )
