About This Book
Mo Willems delivers another masterclass in comedic timing and suspense with this picture book about a hungry fox and a trusting goose. As the fox lures the goose closer to his home in the woods for a "dinner," a group of observant goslings repeatedly interjects with the titular warning. The story cleverly builds tension with its repetitive phrase, leading to a surprising and satisfying twist ending that will delight both children and adults. It's a fantastic read-aloud that subtly explores themes of stranger danger, intuition, and cleverness.
Cute book about listening to your inner gosling! Make shore to listen to the baby geese!
