(2) K-3 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.
