This book is exactly what geese need. They have such a bad wrap and so many people are afraid of them for no reason. I have personally worked to rehab sick, orphaned, and injured Canada Geese back to health and have seen first hand how amazing these birds are. They are incredibly intelligent and deserve to be treated better!

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. Where I live, people see geese as a nuisance, and they are, but we created that. Where I vacation, the geese are wild and well-loved. I hope that more people who find them to be a nuisance read this and find out more about these cool birds.

This was a lovely little book about a pair of Canada Geese that nested in an enclosed space between office buildings. Well-written and packed with photos, it's a charming story of survival and thriving birds that cope with the unusual habitat to become successful parents. I learned a lot about Canada Geese and I enjoyed the anecdotes about the other local wildlife too. A lovely way to pass a few hours.
I'd like to thank the publishers, Bijou Publishing, and Netgalley for kindly providing me with an advance release copy. I really appreciate it.

I really enjoyed this book. I live beside a pond and nearly always have some geese in residence. I learned some interesting things about geese that I hadn’t known. I often name my geese too so I enjoyed the naming of the geese and the reason for each name. We have a Mr. Meany and also his children who are obviously his children!
The photographs were a great addition to the book!
Thank you to Net Galley for allowing me to read this book. The opinions are entirely my own.

I read this sweet book as I’m watching the Canada geese in my neighborhood raising their little ones. I find myself engrossed in watching the changes each day, and easily disappeared into reading about the workers in a corporate office doing the same with their local geese.
The writing is easy to follow, and truly comes to life paired with the generous amount of beautiful photos. I enjoyed this book quite a bit!
My thanks to NetGalley and Bijou Publishing for access to a digital ARC.

Secret Lives of Wild Canada Geese tells the story of geese that have a sweet story around an office park in Roseville, California. It was pretty lengthy given the subject matter, could have been cut down. I loved all of the photos of the geese, especially the goslings!!
I also love that a portion of the profits will go to animal charities.
