Review/Critique: This book talks about the creation of geese and goes through their life cycle up until migration. The mother and father geese build a nest for their family and stay with them until the geese are able to fly away themselves. This book fits realistic fiction because it is accurate scientifically. The book follows the same life cycle and pattern as a real geese would.
Comments on Use: As a teacher, you could use this book in your classroom as a fun way to talk about life cycles or if you have a unit on birds. Personally, I found the book boring and probably would not use the book in my classroom.
