The Goose Egg by Liz Wong. PICTURE BOOK. Alfred A. Knopf (Penguin Random House), 2019. $18. 9780553511574
BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
An elephant on a swim bumps his head and in the process of doing so knocks a nest and an egg lands on his head. At first he thinks it is a bump on his head, but when it hatches, he raises the chick and falls in love with his new family lifestyle.
This book started off so cute with the “goose egg” play on words, but that was only a very small portion of the book and the rest was just a cute childish story of an elephant raising chicks. The characters are all likeable and the illustrations sweet.
