Three delightful geese take up housekeeping in a pine tree in the middle of the forest. They are very neat little geese, and at Christmas time they dust and clean to be ready for the holiday. One little goose finishes first, and when she is tired of waiting, she starts eating crackers. What happens next begins an adventure with a surprise ending involving a whole neighborhood of little birds. It is a perfect Christmas story. The book is written in English with the Italian translations immediately after each passage. Children can more easily learn to read another language through passages presented on the same page.
