Goose

Recommended from Jen Robinson's book page.

Sophie's mom is NOT a helicopter parent; she takes her to the park, but Sophie's on her own to find a playmate once she's there. Who does Sophie find? A goose!

Fun to read aloud, mostly because "goose" is so fun to say. Sophie resembles a Quentin Blake (Roald Dahl) child, and the goose made us laugh - definitely a contender in the "character from a children's book tattoo" category.
