Gideon

By Olivier Dunrea

Meet Gideon, the newest addition to Olivier Dunrea’s gaggle of adorable goslings! Gideon likes to splash with the ducklings, hop with the frogs, play chase-the-piglets, and scamper all over the farmyard. But one thing busy Gideon does not want to do is take his nap, no matter how many times his mother asks . . . until he gets tired, of course.

Another darling gosling makes his debut in this spunky story, with Olivier Dunrea’s perfectly pitched storytelling and illustrations that Gossie & Friends fans have come to cherish.

Reviews for Gideon

[lilred18 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Gideon is too busy to listen to his mother and take a nap. The pictures are sharp and simple and the concept is easily relatable for young children. Gideon is too busy playing, he doesnt want to take the nap his mother suggests. He plays with the pigs, the hens, he tries to find eggs, he talks to a frog, he does all sorts of things. Its an adorable look on what a child often goes through, but personified by animals.
