(2) PS Gosling Gus follows big sister Gemma everywhere (Gemma & Gus). She objects, but accustomed to company, finds herself following him around the farm. In Gus, the little brother discovers some turtle eggs, so he does what any self-respecting bird would do: he sits on them. Dunrea's gently amusing, pleasingly repetitive stories and beguiling illustrations capture preschooler life in all its variety. Review covers these titles: Gemma & Gus and Gus.
