“Dares readers to
crank up the volume... may add a few grown-up voices to the younger
chorus of giggles. The goose is all that's serious here."
—Kirkus Reviews
“In his
savvy, funny picture-book debut, Kimmel uses his limited drawing style to great advantage; in fact, the less the goose does, the funnier it is…. Kimmel knows that when you tell a kid not to do something, it’s sure to unleash
silliness of epic proportions.”
—Publishers Weekly
