A spring nesting season on Goose Egg Island
A small island emerging from winter becomes the setting for a close look at Canada geese nesting. Goose and Gander settle there to build a nest and lay eggs; the account centers on the stretch of waiting that follows, as Goose keeps the eggs warm and Gander guards the island through changing weather and day-night cycles. The focus on both parents’ roles gives the life-cycle subject a concrete seasonal frame, linking care for the eggs with the island’s thaw and the anticipated arrival of goslings.

This lyrical, richly illustrated story gives readers an engaging glimpse into the life cycle of Canada geese.
On a chilly spring day, Goose and Gander flap down toward a little island just beginning to thaw out after a long winter. It is here that they will build a nest, lay eggs, and wait. And wait. And...wait. For the goslings to arrive. During all that waiting--through sun and snow, day and night--Goose keeps their eggs warm, while Gander protects the little island.
