Horn Book Review

Newly formatted editions of Dunrea's charming stories about gosling Ollie, the young companion to Gossie and Gertie, work well as beginning readers. The stories are unchanged, and they are as delightful and child-friendly as ever. The short, expressive sentences use repetition and rhythm nicely, while Dunrea's clean, eloquent illustrations give the earliest of readers additional information to support their efforts.
