"Very cute story about a little gosling who LOVES her red boots. And then one day they disappear and she looks everywhere for them - which is cute. My two year old enjoys the hunt for her red boots. However, I think the end is a confusing to little ones because Gossie and Gertie look way too much alike - but that's my only complaint."

Gossie is a gosling who loves to wear red boots everywhere, every day...until they are lost! Gossie looks and looks, and finds the boots in an unusual place.

Incredibly adorable picture book that would be great for storytime.

Cute story of a gosling who loves red boots. Not sure my 2 year old really got it, but he likes red boots too so he thought it was ok.

This was a super cute read for Baby Lapsit! I think the length would also allow it to work well for story times. A fun little story about Gossie and her red boots!

For: animal/boot fans; readers looking for a book with subtle humor.

Possible red flags: missing possessions.

I thought the style of pictures was very cute. I also liked that there was very little writing on each page, so as not to get too boring for the short attention span of young minds. Although, the whole book was apparently too long for my son, as he has yet to find out the end. I like that even though it's clear how much Gossie loves her red boots, she is still willing to share them in the end. However, the book doesn't come right out and say "Gossie shares her boots. Good for her. You should too," which I really like. Though, you (the parent/reader) may want to point that out to your child after reading it.

Cute story that kept the attention of a 4-month-old. Love the expressions on Gossie's face and the teeny-tiny turtle.

The Gossie and Friends stories are cute and the illustrations are adorable. Highly recommended for little ones.
