Bookroo's summary

Gideon, a lively gosling, loves splashing with ducklings and chasing piglets across the farm. But when it comes to naptime, he simply refuses to rest, despite his mother's pleas. As his energy wanes, will Gideon finally succumb to sleep, or will his playful spirit keep him going? Discover the charming antics of this spirited gosling in a delightful tale of fun and fatigue.

From the publisher

4.0

A cute book, but I don't love that he just disobeys his mother's repeated calls that it's time for a nap...he just keeps playing until he falls asleep himself.

5.3

Gideon is a charming and energetic little goose. He is far too busy playing with all of his barnyard friends to take a nap. The simply drawn animals are surprisingly expressive in their postures and there is a good variety in the vocabulary of busy-ness and the scope of Gideon's play. I could read this book again and again.
