Barney Goose by Carol Ann Treacy

Barney needs to fly north. He doesn't know why! But maybe the animals he meets along the way can help him out.

What a sweet book! Everyone has their own clear character, even those who are only on one page. Barney's red hat is adorable. The scenery is beautifully shown (and I only had to check the map at the back once!) Also, happy ending.

I love that the swans were in Mayo - lovely reference to a well known Irish folktale. I'll be gifting this book to a few people this Christmas. Just lovely.

Join Barney Goose as he travels the Wild Atlantic Way from West Cork all the way to Donegal. See the sights and meet new friends in each new location.

Barney Goose lived happily with Tom the lighthouse keeper in west Cork.

When spring came, he knew it was time to fly north, but he didn't know why!

Join Barney on his big adventure meeting new friends along the Wild Atlantic Way.
