For Lily and Bobby

This is Peedie.

Peedie is a gosling.

A small, yellow gosling
who sometimes forgets things.

Peedie forgets things.
Even when Mama Goose reminds him.

He forgets to come in
out of the rain.

He forgets to eat all his food.

He forgets to tidy his nest.

He forgets to take a nap.

He forgets to turn the egg.

But Peedie never forgets to wear
his lucky red baseball cap.
