Reviews
“An extremely funny counting book that my boys have asked for on repeat!” —Father Teacher Reader
“This is such a fun one to read aloud!” —Posie’s Book Club
“Chortle-inducing humour combines with word play and bold, bright illustrations to make this one brilliant picture book that you should not miss out on!” —An Eaton Readit
“This is a funny book but within it is an important message about the value of diversity!” —Storybook Mamma
“Another gigglesome delight with a wealth of possibilities for preschoolers and beyond, from author Kael and illustrator Nicola.” —Red Reading Hub
“This is a delightful follow up to One Goose, Two Moose, which was a hilarious antic! In this tale, Goose is trying to get everyone into their correct lines but it seems there are plenty of animals sneaking into other rhyming lanes, much to Goose’s dismay! The illustrations are amazing and this is sure to cause a case of the giggles in any reader. The ending is proof of why Goose needs to loosen up a little bit!” —My Shelves Are Full
“Not only does this picture book help with counting, it also introduces them to new animal names that they might not have come across before. It’s perfect for the little animal lover in your family.” —Not Enough Book Shelf Space
“There’s animal chaos in this rhyming counting book. Simon wants everyone in the right lines, nice and orderly. Moose tries to help but no one will listen. The racoons, baboons, cockatoos, kangaroos and everyone else just want to have fun. Finally, they realise it’s ok for the animals to be together and everyone sets off on a tour happily. Full of laughs and hilarious characters, this book is a riotous read-aloud!” —Scope For Imagination
“Readers will sympathise with the poor goose who is just trying to get everyone organised, but there’s the lovely reminder that if we just relax and try not to get too stressed about doing things our way, we’ll probably have a lot more fun.” —BookTrust
“Bookwagon loves the creativity, colour, chaos and whipsmart words and jumbling pictures. One Goose Two Moose Three Raccoon Four Baboon is a sensational choice for reading aloud and then for enjoying alone, too. What a gem!” —Bookwagon
