Gertie Goose

This is a children's story suitable for bedtime or daytime reading for children aged between 3-8 years old. This short, sweat and entertaining story with beautiful hand drawn illustrations helps to reinforce the idea that children's parents or guardians often know what is best for them and that they do things to protect them out of love and their wellbeing. Gertie is a prime example of a goose who thinks she knows better but soon realises the consequences of being stubborn. However, by this time, it is too late and she has to use her initiative and think for herself. The book helps promote the idea of the wisdom of elders, whilst growing independence and confidence in one's own abilities, in a bedtime story that everyone can enjoy.

This short story includes hand drawn illustrations in a similar style to the front cover for you and your child to enjoy.
