Read to find out how this incredibly illustrated children's book explores many firsts, many friendships, and much, much more.  We enjoyed this book.  The pages are cheery and easy to read. With each turn of the page, the colored background changes to bright, happy colors of purple, green, blue, orange, and yellow.  Often times, goose is hiding in the illustrations and children will have fun trying to find him.  We enjoyed this book!  Pre-K.  EL (K-3).  ADVISABLE.
