Abstract
The first surprise as I examined this book is that it does not belong to the Walt Disney Fun-To-Read Library, though the book matches in format and approach the three volumes I have in that series (1986), also done by Bantam. The second surprise is that Huey, Louie, and Dewey refer back to the golden eggs not in Aesop's fables but in Jack and the Beanstalk. Scrooge overhears and immediately pays Donald twice the purchase price of the goose. The joke of the book is Why would Scrooge ever think that this goose would produce golden eggs? Scrooge knows nothing about raising geese, so slavishly follows Grandma's advice not too cold, not too hot, not too hungry, not too little exercise. Still he gets no eggs, much less golden ones.He shows him the picture in Jack. He acts like a mean giant. Finally the goose flies away. The best picture may be that of the goose's beak turning blue. There are exercises and games at the end.
