Goodbye Geese

Author: Nancy White Carlstrom
Illustrator: Ed Young


Comments:

Extraordinary use of figurative language. The brilliant illustrations bring the metaphors to life and excite the imagination.

Goodbye Geese could be read aloud in a call-response fashion. The class could read the child's questions, and the reader could dramatize the father's response as well as winter's actions.
