PETUNIA was a goose who found a book one day and became the barnyard busybody. After all, having a book made her very wise, she felt. She gave advice on all problems to all who asked and to all who didn't. She knew all about curing toothaches, getting cats out of trees—she knew everything—until the day she found out how little she really knew, in a manner most painful even to a very silly goose. One of America's distinguished contributors to the field of children's literature has created a book filled with fun and gay in brilliant color.
