When Goosey tells Lucy that they can't be sisters because she's a goose and Lucy is a dog, Lucy tries to prove that she's a goose, too! LUCY: I love you, Goosey. You are my big sister. GOOSEY: No, I am a goose. You, Lucy, are a dog. LUCY: Look! I have glossy goosey feathers. GOOSEY: Those are not feathers. They are leaves. Lucy loves her big sister, Goosey, very much! However, there's one problem . . . Goosey doesn't think that Lucy is her sister, because Lucy is a dog. Lucy tries to show Goosey just how good of a goose she is. She displays her glossy goose feathers (made up of leaves), her goose honk (bark), and her nest of eggs (rocks), but Goosey isn't convinced. Lucy may not be able to make Goosey think that she's a goose, but she is able to show her love for her big sister when she uses her loud bark to protect Goosey's eggs from danger.

The content of this book is based on the Andy Croft's experience of working with children in over 400 UK schools and will provide teachers with ideas, games, examples and models that they can use in the classroom to encourage their children to become writers and readers through the practice of rhyme and rhythm. He strongly believes that you don't have to be 'good at English' to be able to enjoy the music of ordinary speech. Using rhythm and rhyme is a democratic creative act that is equally hard and equally easy for everyone. It has special rules which won't let you reach for the first word that comes into your head. Your words have to fit the pattern. You don't have to write anything down, but you do have to become a writer. And once you have become a writer, you might become a reader...

A collection of short stories, poems, and songs for children.
