K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Priscilla Lamont.
A boy finds an egg, and the goose that hatches thinks the boy is its mother. Then the goose finds a duck who thinks the goose is its mother. The three do everything together until nature takes its course and the birds return to their flocks ("That's how it is with birds"). Warm illustrations echo the story's affection.
