I have been trying FOREVER to remember/find the book I read as a kid at our medical clinic. I have a lot of allergies, asthma, hay fever…in short, I was sick a lot plus I have 2 younger siblings so I was at the doctor’s office A LOT! I remember reading this one book when I was there all the time, but can’t find it…SO PRAYING you can help me finally remember the book! It’s about either a goose (or gander) living in a house…a spider gets into the house and the goose/gander try getting the spider to leave or try killing it a lot of different ways, but the spider doesn’t leave. The goose/gander do major damage to their house (it might break a pipe or something because I vaguely remember the house having water in it)…in the end the goose/gander is so upset & tired of spider that the goose/gander leave the house (I think the spider follows it or something??) It’s a short children’s book. I just remember thinking the book was so funny…all the ways the goose/gander tried getting rid of the spider & the spider always survived but the goose/gander ruined it’s house in the process…just a cute, funny story…and a big childhood memory…again…since I was there SO OFTEN. If you can help me figure out what book this is I would SO GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!
Possibly an ant and not a spider? Try Henry’s Awful Mistake by Robert Quackenbush. The situation sounds the same.
Maybe “Henry’s Awful Mistake” by Robert Quackenbush – but it’s a duck and an ant.
