"This is a great book about a duck named Ollie. He walks around searching for his missing red boots. His friend Gertie has his book, but Ollie doesn't know this. This book would be great for helping Pre-k and kindergartners work on their anticipatory skills."

" I think the little goslings are really cute. I liked that they shared the boots though the end was a bit disjointed to me. "
— Jenny, 1/11/2014" I *love* all of these stories by Dunrea. When I have kids of my own these will definitely be some of the first I read to them! "
— Tiff, 1/7/2014" my kids love this one. "
— Jennie, 1/7/2014" Cute book that follows along with the book, "Gossie" by the same author. It has adorable illustrations and a short, silly story about a gosling who wants boots. Fun to read aloud. "
— Dolly, 12/26/2013" Cute pictures and it was a good book for a young person learning to read as it had repeating lines or similar lines. eg from memory ... Gertie had red boots. Gossie had blue boots. "
— Dee-Ann, 12/11/2013" Sweet story. Dunrea's illustrations are enchanting. If I had a very young child I believe I would buy this book just to use the illustrations as art work for the child's room. Then of course I would have to buy another copy to read. :) "
— Amberly, 12/6/2013" Oliie is a gosling with a toddler's personality. His friends have boots, he wants boots. He trails his friends around until they lend him their boots. Once he has to boots, they turn out to be 'too hot' and the boots are abandoned in favour of swimming! "
— Library, 12/2/2013" Cute board book. "
— Heather, 11/23/2013" The story of Ollie continues. Just as lovely as the other Dunrea books. "
— Jenni, 10/22/2013" Good stuff on sharing in here. Both kids like it. When I pick it up, Santi cries "Owwwwwie" in utter happiness. "
— Elizabeth, 9/14/2013" Oh, I love these little books. "
— Miri, 7/5/2013" Cute. My son really like this and the other similar books by Olivier Dunrea. "
— Naomi, 7/3/2013" Not as cute as Gossie, but still a cute story of goslings and boots. The illustrations remain cute and the story simple. However, its is a bit forgettable since I read it only a couple of weeks ago and can't remember much of it. "
— jacky, 5/27/2013" I like the simple little stories in this series. Sweet messages about leading & following, sharing and making friends. "
— Beck, 5/25/2013" A short simple story about friends who share. The illustrations are nice and clean. The format I had was board book size although it was not a board book, not the greatest size for using at story time. Migyht work better one on one. "
— Vicki, 5/20/2013" I love to give books from Dunrea as baby gifts. The art is lovely, floating in a lot of white space. The text is simple, and amusing. Just adorable. "
— Kaethe, 5/20/2013" If you could put a toddler into words and cute pictures, this would be the book you would come up with. Dunrea does an amazing job of capturing toddlerhood. Both my boys love this book. "
— Krystal, 5/2/2013" Not my favorite in the series by Dunrea, but still a great book! My boys love them all. "
