About This Book

A mother goose cares for a dozen lively goslings and grows anxious when barnyard chicks vanish overnight. She keeps watch, glimpses a stealthy fox, and conceives a plan to shelter her brood in the empty little doghouse. Other animals mock her precaution, but she persists, bringing the goslings to safety each night while the predator continues to take some of the flock. The tale blends homely detail and mounting suspense, tracing her vigilance, the barnyard’s mixed responses, and a communal alarm sounded by the big white rooster as the community faces the threat.
