“Tilly is not an ordinary goose. She takes her baths in apple juice. She wears a pancake as a hat. She tries to ride the farmer’s cat.” But the barnyard animals complain that she’s too silly. When she stops entertaining her friends with her antics, the farm becomes a quiet and unhappy place. David Slonim’s acrylic, pencil, and ballpoint pen illustrations add to the hilarity in this story about a one-of-a-kind silly goose. Review: A Classic for our family - One of our favorite children’s books. We have 4 kids and it’s a classic in our house. Our teenager brought it to school to share for an assignment and it’s the only book that 8th graders stopped to read because everyone loved it. Even the teacher said it’s fantastic. Fun wordplay. Silly situations. Just a joy to read. Review: Such a fun read! - We love this book! Really fun story with great illustrations!

A Classic for our family
One of our favorite children’s books. We have 4 kids and it’s a classic in our house. Our teenager brought it to school to share for an assignment and it’s the only book that 8th graders stopped to read because everyone loved it. Even the teacher said it’s fantastic. Fun wordplay. Silly situations. Just a joy to read.

in the words of an EnchantedBookTroll
This book was about a Goose who wanted to make the animals on the farm happy. She ended up making them mad. Then they got bored, and wanted her to be silly again. So then all the farm animals were happy again. #EnchantedBookTroll

That silly goose
Silly Tilly is so cute and still provides a real life lesson. Tilly gets under her friends skin by acting her usual silly way and they tell her she needs to "Knock it off." As you might expect, she does that and then they all miss her goofy ways and they apologize. My Grandkids love to hear the rhyming verses that tell of the antics of this goose. The illustrations are softly done yet depict the emotions of the animals including the Wide-Eyed expressions of the cow, donkey, pig, etc. Very cute book that lets the reader really put some intonation into the story.

It grew on us, or we grew to it
When we first got this book for my 3-year-old son he didn't even really want me to finish reading it the first time. Now, at almost three-and-a-half, we've read it several times in the past few weeks and he thinks it's hilarious. He thinks it's silly but there are several times he asks 'why?' which is my queue that something is over his head. I just looked at the description and I see that it's for Age Level 6 - 8, that may explain it. This is also great news because that means he's enjoying it now and will for another several years. As an adult, it's a fun book to read, and even more enjoyable to look at. I think they could have done such a better job of the picture on the cover. There are so many really good, fun images in the book and I don't feel the cover represents them. *SPOILER ALERT* When the animals come back to ask Tilly to be silly, the picture of them all standing in a row with the frog holding the flower is so awesome, I wish I could get a print for the wall.

Silly Goose With A Good Message About Friends
If you have a silly friend (or maybe are a silly friend) you know sometimes it can get *really* silly, and sometimes can even go overboard ... but that doesn't mean we can be bossy and mean or unkind to each it other, and it doesn't mean that people should stop being themselves. What it does mean is that we can learn to appreciate each other and how to get along. We can learn how to talk to each other ... how to be better communicators. We can learn what boundaries are and how to respect them. We can learn to apologize when we were wrong, and that being a friend means that sometimes we just kind of roll with it and accept each other for who we are ... silliness and all ... and that it is a happier place when people are allowed to be themselves. This was a fun, read out loud, sweetly illustrated book, with lots of things to talk about along the way about friendship, and how we interact with each other. Definitely recommended.

hilarious tail of a silly goose
This is actually quite a funny story. I read it to my two daughters and we all had a good time reading this book quite well written and the animations are very nice. Definitely worth a read. I read it to my seven-year-old and she said “ it’s a super funny story.” I read it to my 10-year-old and she said “thumbs up from me!”

A Favourite
This book is filled with playful, rhyming text that brings a giggle to children and adults. I used this in my K-2 class and used it as a springboard for a discussion on friendship and accepting others as they are. It is one of my favourite books...so funny.
