Description

Meet Goose, a passionate artist who wants to create a perfect portrait and win the village art competition. But after a whole week of painting Puffin and friends, Goose is all aflutter. Is an artist's work ever good enough?

I'm Goose! And I descend
from famous painter geese.
Every day I paint and draw
to make a masterpiece.

As Goose paints and paints to make the perfect picture, the deadline draws closer, the pressure mounts and Goose feels the cherished award slipping further and further out of reach. Then disaster strikes. Will anything or anyone help our tortured hero win through?

This delightful story is set in the endearing world of Puffin the Architect and her friends. Readers will love poring over Kimberly Andrews' detailed pictures and spotting the spider hidden on every page, as Goose explores the trials and rewards of making art.
