Discover how a gosling hatches into the world, step by step, in this irresistibly cute and funny nonfiction picture book.

Is it getting stuffy in there?
Has your yolk dwindled to a smidge?
Is the beak in your wingpit cramping your style?
Gosling, it’s time to . . .
HATCH!

With humorous, spare text that reads as an instructional "how to", this story is a delight to read aloud and walks children through every step of the hatching process.

Includes bonus facts on gosling hatching and growth, as well as an author's note from the author, an experienced librarian and educator who has done many hatching projects with chicks and quails in both the classroom and library. Perfect for Easter baskets!
