Summary
 This story is about a little gosling that likes to eat. The book talks about everything that she eats. When the gosling is done eating it keeps burping and the turtle tells it to drink some water to stop burping. In the end the gosling stops burping and continues to eat.

Personal Response
I thought that this book was too simple. I don't think that children in this age group would find this book interesting. I think that children that are learning how to talk would like this book. However, I think it would be too simple for even slightly older children. The illustrations were very simple and cute with very bright happy colors.

Potential Problems
This book may be too simple for some children. Other than that, there are no apparent problems with this book.

Recommended to...
I would recommend parents to read this to very young children. Since this book is so simple I would recommend that parents only continue to read it a few times. The child wouldn't learn very much from this book but it might be enjoyable to read anyway.
