The Goose Who Applied for a Desk Job: A Funny Animal Read-Aloud Story for Ages 4 to 8

A Very Serious Animal Jobs story about a loud goose, a quiet office and a very broken bell.

Honora Goose wants a real job with a real folder. The Tidy Paper Company needs a helper who is organised, calm and quiet, and Honora is none of those things, so naturally she applies. One telephone, one flying stack of papers and forty-two very unusual photocopies later, she learns from Pip the post-room mouse that honking is not a filing system. But when the fire drill bell goes tink and nobody hears it, the office finds out it needs a goose after all.

It is a funny animal read-aloud for ages 4 to 8. At the back, a "Draw Honora at her desk" page walks through drawing Honora in five simple steps, with room to add whatever is on her desk.
