DESCRIPTION:
The float was hanging from his neck, and if it hadn't been so serious, Jerry would have laughed out loud." — from the book. He soon discovers another threatened creature: a beautiful wild goose caught in a fishing line. "The goose was struggling to get away, but the more he fought, the worse it got. When the Wabash River starts receding, Jerry rescues the exposed river mussels from hungry raccoons. His feet and wings were wrapped tight in the lines, and the hooks were caught in his feathers. The way the goose resolves the dilemma shows how conflicts can be solved creatively. A Goose Named Gilligan is the true story of a beautiful, untamed river, a man who cherishes it, and a most extraordinary goose. Unable to fly, the goose will surely drown unless Jerry intervenes. Once freed, grateful Gilligan follows Jerry home, but the man know that wild creatures should live in the wild

A Customer said A Goose Named Gilligan. I had the pleasure of riding on the Delta Queen Steamboat last year where the author, Mr. Hay is a Riverlorian. He told the story about Gilligan Goose. I have not read the book yet but the heartwarming story was wonderful. Jerry Hay is a great storyteller so I'm sure the book will be great, as well. The incredible thing about the story is that Gilligan is a real goose and the story he told is true. I am ordering copies for myself and each of my grandchildren.
