Illustrated by
Marsha Winborn.
Geese Gabbler and Mrs. Gabbler are so busy celebrating the imminent arrival of their offspring that they don't notice when their egg rolls away; they conclude that it's been "egg-napped." Their forest-animal friends ultimately carry out a successful rescue mission. Propelled by tight if unoriginal rhymes, this ode to teamwork and its critter-packed illustrations will amuse young children.
