The Day the Goose Got Loose - Reeve Lindbergh, author. Steven Kellogg, illustrator
Summary (from Goodreads):
Just how much havoc can one goose cause? Take a gander at the chaos that results when a long-necked mischief-maker flies the coop. Soon the bull's broken through the fence, and cows and horses are galloping all over town. The stampede will go on until dawn--and the laughter will last even longer.
My Review:
I adore this book. The illustrations are big and bold and colorful, and the poetry is rollicking and humorous. It's a great story, and also a really excellent introduction to rhyme schemes and poetic meter. I used to read this to one of my preschool students, and the enormous smiles he would give me were so beautiful that I bought him a copy of it for himself when he graduated. It's an excellent read-aloud just for fun and relaxation, or it could be a great addition to a poetry study for all levels.
