Description

Gozzle by Julia Donaldson and Sara Ogilvie is a funny and heartwarming children’s picture book about family, growing up and discovering where home truly is.

When Bear finds a lost egg outside his cave, he is surprised when a little gosling hatches and decides that Bear must be her daddy. Gozzle tries to do everything Bear does, from climbing and digging to eating honey, even when she discovers that she is rather different from him. Through Bear and Gozzle’s playful relationship, children can explore ideas around family, belonging, identity and growing up in a gentle and humorous way.

The colourful illustrations give children plenty to look at and talk about, while the engaging story makes this a wonderful read-aloud book to enjoy together.
