Description

Meindert DeJong; middle-grade. The boy wanted to buy the big gray goose and the little white duck as birthday presents for his mother. But he was short one dollar, which he had to coax from his grandfather. Grandpa consented, saying the goose was to be roasted for his eighty-eighth birthday the next spring. After all, Grandpa would never have parted with a dollar for a useless pet goose. This book is a Newbery Award winner. Paideia Press; paperback.
