Toulouse
Toulouse, the wise old Canada goose from the Chadwick series, stars in his own adventure in this new picture book by Cummings and Cohen. As a youngster, Toulouse wasn`t quite so wise, as he freely admits when he tells his nieces and nephews his story one crisp October day. Toulouse had gotten into mischief early -- when he was just a newly hatched little yellow gosling -- but nothing compared with the trouble he found on his first migration to Maryland. Separated from his family, he was left to find his own way south with a lost snow goose named Desdemona, who became his special friend for life. Their love story is one children and grownups alike will treasure. Along the way the oddly matched couple deal with the main peril of migration -- navigating their way to their winter home -- and they also face their fear of airplanes, power lines, hunters, and predators. The children who read Toulouse will not only enjoy the goose`s exciting story, they`ll also learn about the mysteries and realities of life in the wild.
