Gus is a small book (6.5 in. X 6.5 in.) for small hands* with a limited reading vocabulary. “Gus is a small yellow gosling who likes to be by himself.” Gus is an active observer in the world around him. Gus watches a spider spin a web, watches mice scamper, and a turtle dig a hole. Gus then finds the eggs laid by the turtle in the hole and sits on them until they hatch.

Young readers will be as joyful as Gus in their exploration of this book about Gus’ world!

Simple, though expressive illustrations.

*Beatrice Potter wrote small books a for small hands, too.
