How nice it would be to be different! Silly Suzy Goose thinks of all the things other animals do and she things how much she would love to stretch like a giraffe, to splash like an elephant, to jump like a kangaroo or to hang upside sown and flap like a bat. But, when Silly Suzy Goose is chased by a lion she experiences doing all of those things and soon finds out they are not so much fun after all! Suzy is best off at home – with all the other geese!
"The art jumps off the pages, a fitting verb for a clever, clever book, alive in every way." — BOOKLIST(starred review)
Silly Suzy Goose is just like all the other geese. But how she wishes she could hang upside-down like a bat or stretch like a giraffe. And how wonderful to jump, jump, JUMP like a kangaroo! Suzy wanders far from her flock, meeting animals very different from her. But when she crosses paths with a cranky lion, she learns the advantage of blending in with the crowd! Spirited little readers will go for this tale of a silly goose in search of a brand new style — at least some of the time.
A nicely measured brew of pared-down design and warm-hearted emotion. Independent
