A fun-packed, read-aloud picture book about Suzy – a goose who just has to be different – from an award-winning children's book creator.
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 and slide like a penguin. But when she tries to roar like a lion she gets more than she bargained for!

Well worth a gander is the exuberant Silly Suzy Goose by Petr Horacek. The irresistible storyline is complemented by some superb illustrations…Horacek keeps the humour, charm and noise on full while his minimal backgrounds intensify his vibrant parade of creatures. This goose on the loose is a perfect read for preschoolers.
