Silly Suzy Goose

• Author: Petr Horácek
• Format: Paperback
• Recommended Age: 2 years+

Suzy Goose is fed up with being just like the rest of the flock. She wants to be different - to flap like a bat, squawk like a toucan, slide like a penguin, jump like a kangaroo, and swim like a seal. But when she tries to roar like a lion she gets more than she bargained for.

This really is a visually stimulating picture book, it's bright colours and animated illustrations will motivate children to feel as Suzy feels - frustrated, excited, frightened and finally consoled. There is much repetition, which supports and accompanies the beautiful illustrations. It's perfect for pre-school, with follow up activities that could include thinking about different animals and which animals we'd like to imitate: Ummm ...  if I was a snake I could slither along the ground ... I'd be Sandie Snake!
