Children's β¦ Penny’s Take
Father Goose and His Goslings
William Lishman Β· 1992
70/100
π Worth It
Bill Lishman's story of raising Canada geese via imprinting and teaching them migration routes is one of the genuinely remarkable man-and-animal stories of the last century, and the children's adaptation makes it accessible to upper-elementary readers. The connection to Fly Away Home gives it built-in cross-media appeal for families. Limited critical documentation for this specific edition is a real gap, but the underlying story carries enough inherent quality to recommend with moderate confidence.
