About This Book
Mem Fox's 'Boo to a Goose' is a wonderfully imaginative and humorous picture book that follows a young boy's creative musings. He describes a series of increasingly silly and fantastical actions he would undertake rather than utter the simple phrase "boo to a goose." The book is celebrated for its engaging rhyming text and the stunning, dramatic cut-paper collages by David Miller. Perfect for children aged 4-8, it's an excellent choice for a lively read-aloud that encourages imagination and wordplay, providing pure entertainment without any heavy themes.
A child relates a long list of things he would do before he'd say boo to a goose.
