Wild Geese: An Uncle George Story Book 7 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781969718083)

It's a spring snow, and but the pond is just the ticket for the Geese to rest their weary wings, and they have Uncle George to protect them.

The book captures the essence of a bygone era, offering readers a glimpse into a magical world of ice-skating bears, honey-loving dogs, and devious wolves, all set against the backdrop of the beautiful Kinniconick Creek. ​ The glossary at the end provides context for terms and places mentioned in the stories, enhancing the reader's understanding of this historical and cultural setting.
