- Abstract
- en_US As throughout this series, the interior of the book complements rhyming couplets with shaded black-and-white drawings. Each booklet starts with an admonition from Aesop and regularly touches on something scatological that will appeal to young minds. Here Aesop admonishes "Don't eat baked beans every day -- they soon pop out the other way! If you make a smelly parp move off a bit and stand apart." The couple in this version of GGE is money-hungry from the start. The farmer wins the goose in a raffle and hopes for six regular eggs from her. The story returns to bodily functions when the goose complains of the effort to lay a golden egg. With their new cash, the farmer buys chickens and his wife shoes. When he has killed the golden goose, his chickens fly away in fright. Her shoes soon wear out. 48 pages. 5¼" x 8".
