A Lovely Day for Amelia Goose
PreS–After awakening in her bed, a young goose walks to the pond, greeting bees and birds along the way. She meets Frog and together they bounce on lily pads, play hide-and-seek, swim, and share other games until it is time for Amelia to return home. The vivid collage illustrations reflect the jubilant mood of the two friends as they spend the day together. Bright colors leap off the pages while a very white gosling dazzles the eye. Simple text and hand-lettered onomatopoeic words allow the pictures to take center stage and tell the story. Young children will enjoy observing these two companions who differ in appearance but delight in the same activities.–Maryann H.
