In this charming tale set in a farmyard, originally published in 1950, Petunia the silly goose believes she has become wise just because she finds a book. Ages 4-8. (Apr.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

Review by Horn Book Review

Duvoisin's Petunia, the silly goose, is a memorable character making an overdue comeback in this fiftieth-anniversary edition. The first book in the series introduces the addle-brained goose who finds a book and decides that carrying it around will make her wise. Duvoisin's energetic drawings perfectly capture Petunia's growing arrogance. From HORN BOOK Fall 2001, (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
