First in a new series for beginning readers about a truly awful goose named Gordon. There are plenty of mean geese in the world. You've probably met one. They hiss and honk and chase you down for a measly scrap of bread.

But Gordon is the meanest of them all. Gordon is the meanest goose on earth. He stomps on sandcastles, punches sharks, and shouts at babies--he's the worst, and he loves it.

Until one day, when Gordon has been particularly mean, Anthony the piglet hands him a flower. And with this one act of kindness, Gordon's world begins to crumble.
