Though her stories are ‘HOW GOONEY BIRD CAME TO THE TOWN OF WATERTOWER, USA FROM CHINA ON A FLYING CARPET’, ‘HOW GOONEY BIRD’S BELOVED PET CAT, CATMAN, GOT CONSUMED BY A COW’, ‘HOW SHE GOT LATE FOR SCHOOL BECAUSE SHE WAS DIRECTING THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA’.Īnd yes, all of Gooney’s stories are true. While Pippi leaves you wondering if her claim that she has super human strength and that she can bake a 100 dozen cookies in an hour are true, Gooney Bird assures that all her stories are 100% real. While Pippi made me a little sad, I did not have this lump in my throat and a heavy heart when I read Gooney Bird. At first it reminded me of Pippi Longstokings, but Lois Lowry does manage to differentiate this very Pippi-like character, well at least in my mind. Gooney Bird tells tall tales, has an ‘interesting’ fashion sense and has an exceptionally high level of confidence.
I thumbed through the book and quickly digested that the book was about a quirky little girl in second grade. Thanks to Sandhya, Lois Lowry was a familiar name. We stumbled across Gooney Bird Greene series by Lois Lowry.
