Bookroo's summary
Petunia, a proud and silly goose, stumbles upon a book and believes it makes her wise. She begins offering advice to her farmyard friends, leading to a series of comical misunderstandings. As Petunia's misguided wisdom spreads, the animals find themselves in amusing predicaments. Will Petunia learn the true value of knowledge, or will her antics continue to cause chaos? This delightful tale combines humor with a gentle lesson, inviting young readers to explore the joys and pitfalls of learning.
From the publisher
When Roger Duvoisin first introduced children to his proud and silly goose, Petunia, in 1950, it was love at first sight. Those children have grown up, but Petunia is every bit as fresh and funny and muddled as the day she was born.In this, the first of the series of classic books featuring the silly goose, Petunia finds a book–and, deciding that if she owns a book she must be wise, dispenses hilariously mistaken advice to the other animals in the farmyard.With its gentle lesson and the kind of humor that kids love best, this new edition of a picture book classic will delight and inspire a whole new generation of readers.
