What is Goose fables about?

This lively collection brings together two traditional fables. In “The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg”, a greedy man discovers that his goose can provide wonderful riches—but his impatience may cost him everything. In the Buddhist tale “The Tortoise and the Geese”, a chatty tortoise wants to fly south with his friends. To complete the journey, he must learn to keep quiet. Witty storytelling and expressive illustrations introduce young readers to memorable animal characters and timeless lessons.
