This book is a charming story about a family of geese. Gilda Goose and her husband Glen Gander have a nest in a maple tree on Timmy’s Pond. The story begins with three goslings who have hatched, Meeme, Shuely, and Freely and three eggs still in the nest that haven’t hatched.

The story takes the goose family through many of the same issues that human families face such as safety of their nest, boundaries where young goslings should and should not go, as well as life lessons for the family. It’s a delightful book filled with characters like Mister Emerald Greeny Heron and Wendel the Blue Wind Breeze Blower.

The book is a perfect bedtime story book, but also offers many opportunities for teaching young children about nature. Parents and grandparents could expand on the themes about family. The characters lend themselves to art projects. Also exploring the differences between a duck and a goose.

The author offers three main takeaways from the book: 

1. Don’t belittle others.
2. Don’t talk loudly in public. It disturbs others.
3. Be patient. Victory comes soon after the storm.
