About This Book
Reach for this book when your household feels a bit too quiet or, conversely, when your child is in a high-energy, 'wild' mood and needs a constructive outlet for their silliness. It is a perfect choice for kids who are beginning to test their own boundaries and want to explore the concept of independence through a safe, humorous lens. The story follows a mischievous goose who breaks free, sparking a chain reaction of excitement and chaos across a farm. While the plot is simple mayhem, the emotional core speaks to the pure joy of spontaneity and the thrill of breaking from routine. Through bouncy, rhythmic verse and lively illustrations, Reeve Lindbergh captures the infectious nature of excitement. It is a wonderful tool for discussing how one person's (or animal's) actions can affect an entire community, all while keeping the tone light and celebratory. Parents will appreciate the clever vocabulary and the way the book validates a child's natural desire for a little bit of 'loose' fun.
