Very cute and simple, both in pictures and text. Charming is the best word for the series.Dunrea has a real gift at drawing emotions on geese. Even a very little child (and these books are just the right pace for babies and toddlers) can figure out what the geese are feeling by looking at the pictures.And they're realistic, too. I can see an actual child bossing their friend like Gossie - and having a tantrum just like her too.
My son just LOVES this book. We read it every single night and have for the past....honestly I don't even know how long it's been. We have read it so many times that he's even changed Gossie's name to Monate and then changed it back again recently (he's 2). But for a parent, it is not a torturous re-read. And when they start to talk it's an easy one for them to repeat after you or describe pictures. Also it's so cheap. Get this for your kid. It's the cutest thing.
I love the Gossie series of books by Olivier Dunrea. This book is a simple, sweet tale of BFFs. I love that although Gossie seems to be the friend in charge to begin with that really both Gossie and Gertie have their own likes and dislikes and both love being with each other.
My kids both love reading Dunrea's Gossie (Gertie, Ollie, Gideon, etc.) series. The books are so sweet, the illustrations are adorable, and the kids love the quick pace of the story lines. This book, Gossie and Gertie, is no exception. It's a cute story showing playful interactions between friends. It's simple, but entertaining--and like the other books in the series, this one, too, has become a favorite in our house.
Gossie and Gertie is a very cute book. The pictures are adorable and fun to look at. Toddlers and preschoolers will enjoy the simple yet discriptive wording. Here are the first 3 pages: "this is Gossie. this is Gertie" "Gossie wears bright red boots. Gertie wears bright blue boots" "they are friends. best friends"
I love this whole series of board books. The illustrations are adorable, the colors bright and captivating and the simple stories are very direct. The topics resonate with little ones and my grandchildren like to hear them over and over.
I highly recommend this book! My grandson heads for his books and this is always one of the first ones he gets for me to read t him. The expression on his face says it all! Totally enjoyable and great illustrations!
We've made it a practice to start reading to our LO when he is still quite small (since he was about one month old). He's now almost 5 months old, and he enjoys listening to books. Olivier Dunrea's Gossie series is one of his favorites. This is a very sweet story with engaging illustrations. Highly recommended even for very little ones!
