came for little thieves stayed for sunrise on the reaping holy diabolical batman
you get it 😏 honk!
Sunrise on the reaping is actually a good ref 🤩🪿
A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher would fit! It's another retelling of The Goose Girl fairy tale. I love the minor but important role the literal geese play in the book haha
amazing, thank you!
I was trying to find a good nonfiction book to recommend and I found this gem Father Goose: The Adventures of a Wildlife Hero It’s about a man who wanted to help geese that had lost their migratory routes due to human interference (color me surprised) so he used an aircraft so geese followed him acting as a literal father goose😭

that's so sweet! 🥹🥲
The Golden Goose original fairytale by the Grimm Brothers could fit!
Great minds!
yes!
Ugly Duckling? As in the classic fairy tale. 🦢
the duckling turns into a swan, doesn't it? i'm going to keep this list purely geese, but thank you for the rec!

The Book of Goose is a more tangential reference but I believe takes the cake for the goosiest cover
i love it!
