A fun-packed, read-aloud picture book about Suzy a goose who just has to be different from an award-winning children's book creator.
Suzy Goose is fed up with being just like the rest of the flock. She wants to be different: to flap like a bat, squawk like a toucan and slide like a penguin. But when she tries to roar like a lion she gets more than she bargained for!
The whole book is a nicely measured brew of naive, paired-down design and warm-hearted emotion. * The Independent *
Humorous yet touching, the illustrations are a treat - bringing you face to face with the most exotic creatures in our world. * Angels and Urchins *
