Illustrated by
Margot Apple.
Pebbles, bubbles, and buckets remind Little Goose of something that makes him happy, but what? To find out, he takes a tour around the pond, ending up back in his mother's encircling wings, and he remembers: round things call to mind Mother's hugs. Expressive colored-pencil illustrations highlighting Little Goose's interactions with the pond dwellers make this otherwise sentimental tale worth sharing one-on-one.
