Hilarious and with a useful message, the highly illustrated story of Gordon’s mean ways and how he changes his behaviour and learns to say sorry is perfect for new readers.
All geese hiss and honk and many of them have some very mean habits. But Gordon is the meanest by a million miles. He lies on his couch, thinks of all the mean things he can do and then writes out a list which includes, ‘Give rong directions’, ‘Tip over ice kreems’ and ‘Stomp on sandcastle’. But, when Gordon is unexpectedly given a flower by Anthony the Piglet he finds his mean ways begin to disappear…
Alex Latimer’s cartoon illustrations and funny text are captivating.
There are plenty of mean geese in the world. They hiss and honk and chase you down for a handful of crumbs. But Gordon is the meanest of them all. He stomps on sandcastles, knocks ice-creams out of hands, and punches sharks - he's the worst, and he loves it. Until one day, something extraordinary happens . . . Anthony the Piglet gives him a flower.
With this one act of kindness, Gordon's world begins to crumble. Join Gordon the Goose, Anthony the Piglet, and the citizens of Grover Gardens for a laugh-out-loud journey of empathy, courage, and soggy bread.
