"Papa Goose is destined to become a classic. This book has
everything in it I love: great animals beautifully portrayed as
individuals; cool science; drama, discovery, and personal
transformation." -Sy Montgomery, author of Birdology and The Soul
of An Octopus The charming true story of one man's journey to raise
seven goslings in the name of science. In Papa Goose, Michael
Quetting shares the hilarious and moving true story of how he
became a father to seven rambunctious goslings-and the surprising
things he learned along the way. Starting right at the beginning,
with the eggs, his journey takes him from the incubator all the way
to the airstrip, where he must attempt to teach the geese to fly as
part of an ambitious scientific research initiative for the Max
Planck Institute for Ornithology, which tracks animal migrations
around the world. For the next eleven months, we follow the newly
minted dad as he takes the goslings on daily swims in the lake,
tracks them down when they go astray, and watches their
personalities develop: feisty, churlish, and lovable. Packed with
charm and humor, Papa Goose quickly draws us into the adventure as
Gloria, Nemo, and the rest of the crew conquer land, water, and
air.
