Assemble a mini doll sized book: Right, is the Gosling's illustration and verse. Visitors can collect all the bird illustrations and verse from "Bird Children" to print and construct a small book of verse for their dolls. Simply drag each png. into a Word Document, print, cut out all of the images the same size and staple the pages together at the left edge. Squeeze out some white school glue along the stapled edge of the pages and attach a cardboard cover.

 Dear little, downy Gosling said:
"I can't get learning through my head;
I really don't see what's the use -
When I grow up I'll be a goose."

FRIGHTENED BY A FEATHER!

       Said Mother Goose as she and her children were out for a walk one day, "Come, we must all go home; I hear there is a Fox about here!" But her youngest child, Goosie, coaxed her to let them stay out a little longer. "Who's afraid of a Fox, anyhow?" he asked.
       Suddenly they heard a strange noise, and before they could move a big thing with what looked like a Fox's tail came down right amongst them. "The Fox! " quacked Goosie, and away they scampered as fast as ever they could back to the barn.
       It was not really the Fox at all, but only little Bessie's hat with a big feather in it, which had blown off as she ran past with her hoop. But the startled Goose did not stop running till they were safely back home, and you may be sure that the next time their mother tells them that the Fox is about, they will not go out of the barn until the are quite sure that it is very safe to do so. Henry Altemus Company.
