"Anyone who has ever loved will relate to this book as I did. I read it through the night, twice." (Stacey O'Brien, author of Wesley the Owl)
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 11 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.

"This is a wonderful story and a quick read. I fell in love with "Papa Goose" and his kids. Who knew that geese from the same nesting would have such a variety of differing personalities! We had a cabin on a lake that was home to a family of Trumpeter swans and looked forward to their return each year. Over the past 30 years we have been fascinated by their behavior. Michael Quetting's story helped me to understand some of the swan behaviors we had seen on our lake and wonder if we had our own Nemo, Glorio, Nils, Midden, Freddie and "Rambo"."

- This is a wonderful story and a quick read. I fell in love with "Papa Goose" and his kids. Who knew that geese from the same nesting would have such a variety of differing personalities! We had a cabin on a lake that was home to a family of Trumpeter swans and looked forward to their return each year. Over the past 30 years we have been fascinated by their behavior. Michael Quetting's story helped me to understand some of the swan behaviors we had seen on our lake and wonder if we had our own Nemo, Glorio, Nils, Midden, Freddie and "Rambo".
- The book held promise to be an interesting story, but the language was off putting to me. It would have been easy for the author to use any other word to describe the excretement of the geese.
- Nice story
- Excellent book!
