The Silly Gooses by Dav Pilkey

This picture book is divided into chapters. The first chapter is about Mr. Goose who is so silly that no one in his flock wants to marry him. The second chapter is about how Mr. Goose meets a silly Miss Goose from another flock and they fall in love. The third chapter is about their silly wedding and the fourth is when they decide to have a family. The fifth chapter is when the silly baby geese are born and the final chapter is about their silly life to come.

I like this book just because I can picture kids laughing throughout this book. The text talks about the silly things that they geese do but it is really the illustrations that bring the humor to life. Some of the silly things that the geese do are float in a bean-bag chair, wear hats on their feet, ride bikes in the water, and put ketchup and mustard on their ice cream.

This is a good book for beginner readers because they can get the feel of reading a "chapter book" without it being too difficult. Plus, if they get stuck on a word they can just look at the illustrations and try to infer what the word may be. This is a good book for ages 2-8.
