the day the goose got loose by Reeve Lindbergh (1990) is silly fun. Steven Kellogg’s illustrations are perfect for this story of barnyard mayhem. “When the goose got loose She caused a riot. Nobody ever thought she’d try it. The day the goose got loose." You guessed it; the goose opens the gates to the sheep, horses, and cows. They crash into the house and head into town. Near the end of the story, we learn why the goose gets loose. The very end is saved for some of Kellogg’s fanciful pictures. This is a fun book. I did finish it wondering why the goose was fenced in such a small area to begin with.
