Patterson's pithy sketches, rendered on a background that resembles a brown paper bag, are accented with selectively placed splashes of chalky color. Their rustic look suits this Aesop parable about a satisfied farm couple whose goose begins to lay golden eggs. The couple's transformation from contented laborers to greedy materialists who ultimately kill the fowl that provides their wealth will intrigue youngsters' imaginations.
