Silly Goose and Daft Duck tells the story of two best friends who play hide and seek with a cunning clever fox. The story is also an opportunity for children to learn to count to ten.
Move your fingers out, to the right, to find her big, open, yellow beak. Carry on down her lovely long neck and then outwards to the left around one of her flappy wings. (In quite a few pictures in this book Goose has flappy wings!) Feel the texture of her feathers. Continue downwards to her two skinny, yellow legs and her feet, which are quite long. Geese have webbed feet which you can't feel in this picture, but it means that their toes are attached to each other with pieces of skin. This helps them to move through the water and be excellent swimmers.
