The Goose Who Went Off in a Huff

40 pp. | Scholastic/Orchard | April, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-531-30317-9 $$15.95
(4) K-3 Magnolia the goose longs for goslings, but after she tries to hatch Easter eggs and almost drowns the hen's chicks teaching them to swim, Miss Rosemary's scolding sends her off to hide in a sulk. Despite Miss Rosemary's best efforts, nothing lures Magnolia back--until a baby circus elephant is left behind and Magnolia can finally satisfy her maternal urges. The ending is somewhat random, but the down-home story and pointillist illustrations are amusing.
