Spoon stories. One smart goose
(Kit)

Book written and illustrated by Caroline Jayne Church.

Spoon stories are one of the best early literacy resources. Decorated story-related spoons add a sensory rich dimension which engages children in the story, encouraging story participation, exciting them about storytelling and developing them into independent storytellers. One moonlit night + one hungry fox = One big chase! Whenever there's a full moon, the sneaky fox chases all the geese. All the geese, that is, except one. What could be his secret? While all the white fluffy geese clean themselves in the clear, clean pond, One Smart Goose chooses the dirty pond. "Why doesn't the fox ever chase you?" they demand. "Have you got a secret you're not telling us?" No, it's just that One Smart Goose knows that when the fox comes looking for dinner under a full moon, the white geese will shine and glow in the moonlight, while he will blend in.
