The Day the Goose Got Loose
Just how much havoc can one goose cause? Take a gander at the chaos that results when a long-necked mischief-maker flies the coop. Soon the bull's broken through the fence, and cows and horses are galloping all over town. The stampede will go on until dawn--and the laughter will last even longer. Full color.

My daughter picked this one out tonight: Daddy, this is one we haven't read in a looooooonnnggg time! She was right, I had forgotten all about it. Which I realize is not a great compliment, but it's not really an earth-shattering story. However, it is very clever, and is probably worth at least 4 stars. The illustrations are zany and hilarious, with an insane attention to detail. And it is told as a poem, with one of my favorite rhyming schemes of all time (a/b, b, b, a, notation not official!),...more

This book is a great way to introduce literacy to your classroom. Throughout the story there is a constant tone, the words rhymn. As well as bringing in literacy this book is a great way to show how illistrations can make a story so much better. This book has great art that shows a clear picture of what is going on, this is useful if i were to use the book with a younger group of students. I really enjoy reading this story even at my age I found it to be a fun silly book that brings a smile to y...more
This book tells the story of a goose who gets loose, in a farm, and all the chaos that ensues. Hilariously written in rhyming format, with wonderful illustrations that depicts exactly, the havoc the goose has created. I would recommend this book for first grade and up.
Beautifully illustrated, but like some of the other books in my Down on the Farm category, many of the illustrations are too busy for a large group of kids. Might work well for a one-on-one, but I doubt it would work for more than a handful of kids. Nice rhymes.
Combines farm theme and poetry theme. Students joined in for the refrain 'The day the goose got loose".
Just the kind of book that is so much fun to read to an appreciative audience :->
Really enjoyed the illustrations and the repetition.
Illustrations by Steven Kellogg so of course they're fantastic and add the comic element - but the rhyme is also very good - never really seems too forced. My seven year old enjoyed this one.
AWSOME!This book is funny! I love the laughs that shoot off as you read it.
Cute story and amazing illustrations.
