I Am Goose!

Chicken, Turtle, Fox, Pig, Dodo, and Rabbit are having a rousing game of Duck, Duck, Goose in the meadow one day while some opinionated squirrels look on, commenting on the action. Goose comes upon them and asks if he can join the game. Rabbit, who is running the game, welcomes Goose, but the first time one of the animals taps someone to be the goose, Goose gets quite upset. Rabbit tells Goose to wait his turn, but Goose simply doesn’t understand how Turtle or Pig or any of the other animals can be the goose. With fun comments by the squirrels and the frustrating misunderstanding by Goose, this is the goofy kind of humor very young children will love.
