Reading this book, I thought it was very clever. This story is about a very clever goose who, although different from others in the gaggle, he always manages to stay out of the way of the wolf who chases them at night. Once the others realize that this goose doesn't get chased, they ask him to tell them how he does it. They stay safe for awhile, but when winter comes, this clever goose is yet again one step ahead of the gaggle.
As a teacher this would be a very cute book to share with a class or in a small reading group. It has lessons throughout it teaching readers that everyone has good ideas and good qualities, even if they might be a little different from you. It teaches them that if you listen to others, you may discover that their ideas could help you out, and if you choose to exclude them, it could in turn hurt you instead.
