MacGooses' Grocery

Mrs MacGoose, owner of a grocery store, tires of waiting for customers and sitting on her new laid eggs, puts pa in charge and goes for a walk. In turn each of the other members of the family absconds till, finally, the egg is left in charge of itself. Just when the neglected embryo is in danger of freezing to death, along come a pair of weasels who create havoc but inadvertently save the gosling-to-be. An extended joke delivered in deadpan style with cotrastingly droll pictures; it is very easy to read which in part accounts for the fact that the hardcover was in constant demand among my infants last year.
