For Amelia's second book review, she is
recommending:
The Gossie series by: Olivier Dunrea
The synopsis: We have 3 of the gossie books and they are quite popular with Amelia. We have: Gossie, Gossie and Gertie and Ollie the Stomper. Gossie features a little goose who loves wearing her bright red boots everywhere. One morning, they are missing. Searching everywhere, Gossie becomes increasingly distressed until she finds her boots on the feet of another, slightly smaller gosling. The last page shows the duo walking together, each wearing one red boot. In Gossie & Gertie, Gossie in her red boots and Gertie in blue ones are inseparable companions. Gossie, who expects Gertie to follow her lead, is increasingly annoyed when Gertie follows her own path. Ollie the Stomper is a follow-up to Gossie and Gertie series. Ollie is the younger brother to the older goslings. And like younger brothers everywhere, he follows the bigger kids around. You see, "Gossie wears bright red boots" and "Gertie wears bright blue boots." Ollie stomps around after them, wanting boots, too, as the bigger kids have adventures. Finally Ollie takes a stand, standing up on an overturned bucket and demanding: "I want boots!"
These books are some of Amelia's favorites. She likes to point out the ducks or "balks" as she calls them. I like that we can practice our colors too! Along with under this and over that. Ollie the stomper is too cute, especially since we have Mia the stomper living with us. These also get Amelia's five sticky finger seal of approval!
