Book of the Month - SEPTEMBER
WHO'S A GOOSE? by Scott Stuart
From a barrel of monkeys to a waddle of penguins, this laugh out loud animal rhyming story is all about collective nouns! If one goose is a goose, and two gooses are geese, then why is one moose a moose?
This is a new book in the BPS Library.
