Here for your delectation is theSPECTACULAR & RARE------------------GOOSE GOOFS OFF by Jacquelyn Reinach, ILLUSTRATED by Richard Hefter.Goose continues to put things off in order to take it easy.In this edition of the Sweet Pickles series, we see a day in the life of Goof-Off Goose, who is bound and determined to take it easy today. She tells herself and everyone else that she will do a variety of productive tasks tomorrow, including fixing her broken television, mopping up some melted ice cream from the floor, and helping Elephant with his laundry. In the end, she follows a delicious smell to a party, which she wasn't invited to because she was taking it easy today. She concludes that she can attend the party, and take it easy tomorrow instead.These books are fun, with vivid bright colors that make each page seem shiny and new. Children might feel a little sorry for Goose, who seems unable to do anything, and whose house is basically a pigsty. But mostly they will like to see the different animals who exhibit different traits interacting with each other.There's a cautionary lesson about procrastination in the book, and we can all see the consequences of letting the Goof-Off Goose inside run the show.One of the best things about the Sweet Pickles series are the inside covers; the inside front cover has a picture of all 26 animals and their names, with each animal saying or doing something that displays their behavior. The inside back cover has a diagram of the Sweet Pickles town that lists which buildings are occupied by which characters. It's a touch that really makes the community come to life, and children will see a strong connection between the books.
