Abstract
Music by Joseph Faison IV. Not only are the editor, illustrator, and musician different here from the earlier six 2018 books by Cantata Learning, but the music has shifted to mp3 form available through a QR Code online. The lyrics and music are still also printed at the end of the book. Readers are invited to sing along. A repeated quatrain – “If you have a lot, don’t be greedy too” -- recurs through the fable. The music is set to the tune of “Camptown Races.” This landscape book will appeal to young readers for the simple, direct art, including the imagined stockpile of gold eggs inside the goose. In fact, that whole two page spread (14-15) typifies the artist’s good engagement with the emotions of both characters. Rather than our seeing a dead goose, we see only feathers flying around a distraught farmer (18-19).
