Truck, Truck, Goose!
Now all he has to do is cross the little road in front of his cottage. With bold and bright illustrations from Zoe Waring and familiar, sparse text from Tammi Sauer, Truck, Truck, Goose is perfect for any kid who's ever enjoyed the game duck, duck, goose!
Truck, Truck, Goose! by Tammi Sauer is a heartwarming and humorous tale that will captivate young readers. The story revolves around Goose, who is all set for a delightful picnic. He has meticulously packed his basket with all the goodies he loves. However, there's one little obstacle standing in his way: a busy little road he must cross to reach the perfect picnic spot.
As Goose sets off on his journey, he encounters various trucks—big and small—rumbling down the road. Each mighty vehicle presents a new challenge and adds to Goose's adventurous, though slightly exasperating, endeavour to enjoy his anticipated picnic.
The book is brought to life with the vibrant and dynamic illustrations of Zoe Waring. Her bold and bright drawings enchantingly depict the bustling world Goose has to navigate, making every page a visual feast for the eyes. The text by Tammi Sauer is sparse yet impactful, effectively conveying the narrative with a rhythm that young children will find engaging and easy to follow. The repetitive and familiar pattern of the text echoes the beloved children's game, Duck, Duck, Goose, making it an instant hit for story times.
Truck, Truck, Goose! is not only a delightful read but also presents subtle lessons about patience, perseverance, and the joys of simple pleasures. It is perfect for bedtime reading, classroom story corners, or any moment when a child needs a dash of fun and adventure.
This charming picture book, with its cheerful illustrations and playful text, will captivate the imaginations of young readers and inspire them to join Goose on his quaint and humorous journey. Whether it's navigating through life's little challenges or simply revelling in the innocence of childhood games, Truck, Truck, Goose! offers a sweet and entertaining narrative that will be cherished by children and parents alike.
