It's Gator's first day at his new office job, and he is surrounded by quirky personalities like the slow slug, the obedient dog, the aggressive hawk, and the chatty chicken.

My Review: 

The Goose on the Roof is a good book for younger readers by Sarah Sommer . I thought it was a great story to teach them on how to help others when needed. It was so cute that made my little ones laugh. Each page is in a rhyming verse style that flowed very well and kept their interest throughout. It was fun when they asked me to read it over and over again several times. I had no problem to do so. I was just as entertained as they were and enjoyed teaching them some valuable lessons that was within the pages of the book. 

I enjoyed the illustrations in The Goose on the Roof. Martina Terzi’s talent shines through in her pictures throughout. They followed the story perfectly. The pages were so beautiful and vibrant that would catch any young reader’s eye. I adored the colorful pictures on every single page. 

The Goose on the Roof is getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend it for readers who are around four to eight years old. I will be proudly donating my copy of this book to my son’s elementary school library. I know the librarian and teachers will be thankful and excited to share this story with their younger students. I know they will enjoy this story as much as my family did.

I received The Goose on the Roof from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
