Summary (worldcat): A child relates a long list of things he would do before he'd say boo to a goose.
Review: Having been frightened as a toddler by a goose I identified with the main character. I love the rhyme and rhythm of the poetic content. I found it fun to read aloud, and that some of the rhymes bring out almost an accent in the reader, "I'd eat all the butter from here to Calcutta.."
"I'd take a long walk from here to New York...". Not to mention that the illustrations are FANTASTIC!!
School Library Journal ina postive review suggests that students would enjoy writing their own additional lines, and Booklist states that toddlers will enjoy shouting the refrain.
