Ollie is an egg that does not want to hatch until Gossie and Gertie sit on him and use reverse psychology.

Although they love each other, Old Bear and his little Cub have a tug of war over which one knows best in a variety of situations.

On Christmas Eve, Ollie and the other goslings anxiously await the arrival of Father Christmas Goose.

Ollie watches the other goslings dye and hide eggs for the Easter hunt, but no one can find the eggs when Ollie decides that they are all for him.

"Ollie is feeling down, and his friends try to cheer him up with different acts of kindness. But what does the little gosling really need to feel better?"--

Gossie is a gosling who likes to wear bright red boots every day, no matter what she is doing, and so she is heartbroken the day the boots are missing and she can't find them anywhere.

Gemma is a small yellow gosling who likes to lead and her brother is a smaller yellow gosling who likes to follow.
