I first picked up these books on a whim at the library. The illustrations were simple as was the text. I brought home about five in the series and immediately fell in love with them. Ethan now owns both of the board books shown (today we bought Gossie & Gertie) as well as the flip book, "Gossie's Busy Day". I am against kiddlets destroying books, so he has not yet got to play with the flip book.
As far as Gossie is concerned, I now know the book by heart. "This is Gossie. Gossie is gosling. Gossie is a small yellow gosling who likes to where bright red boots. Every day." Through out this book Gossie wears her bright red boots through several activities that highlight opposites. At the end of the book she meets her new friend Gertie. Throughout the series you meet new characters like Ollie who does not want to come out of his shell or Peedie who has a bright red hat.
I love Dunrea's stories because they have few words on each page and all of the stories I've read so far have a phrase that is repeated through out the book.
Do you have a book or author that your kids love? Send me your reviews and see them posted here!

We just checked Gossie and Gertie out of the library based on your mention some weeks ago of these little guys. Can't wait to introduce my kiddos to them! I'm about to post a new list of toddler favorites, too.
