I used this book to teach my first grader how to read with expression. Little one did so well that they had me cracking up by the end. Funny and enjoyable plot. This story is perfect for early readers and increased my kid's confidence in…

I found this one to be lacking. It felt like a weak story, even with the twist at the end. I think that kids will still enjoy it, though.

I like the part where the chicks say, its not a good idea.

So this book starts off as an olden times cinema reel. Think black static-y lines, black and white quality. Think Charlie Chaplin's silent movies. That's what I was reminded of. The illustrations are in colour though. A sly wolf spots an…

I was very surprised when it turned out that the chicks were warning the fox! It was a surprising ending, and resembled many of Willems's previous tales.

An underrated and less well know Willems, if that's possible. This one reminds me of Nannette's Baguette.

Mo Willems takes the art of silent films and applies it to picture books. A dapper fox has spied a beautiful goose walking the city streets. Each image is devoid of text, we only see what they are saying on black pages in between the…

Mo Willems does it again! Bet you didn't expect the hilarious twist at the end.

But this is a good idea! Another classic by Mo Willems - simple but cleaver, cute and fun! Let's read it again.

My 5 year od granddaughter absolutely loved it! She begged me to keep re-reading it, which we did 8 times before returning it to the library. The book was a good way for us to discuss "stranger danger" without leaving the child upset and…

A surprising lesson about the importance of listening to one's inner gosling ensues when a very hungry fox issues a dinner invitation to a very plump goose. By the Caldecott Honor-winning creator of Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!…

Presented in the format of an old silent film, That is Not a Good Idea talks about stranger awareness through the actions of a naive goose, and the chicks among the audience who know better. There is a twist in the end though, which is…

This simple picture book is styled like the silent films of days gone by, and is a good lesson about stranger danger.
