The Real Thief by William Steig
The charming story of a loyal and wrongly-accused goose, with delightful illustrations by the author
Steig's captivating style and tongue-in-cheek humor bring to life an endearing set of animal characters with some extremely human foibles Booklist Steig's books are like perfect smooth stones, complete in themselves, with no seams to be found.. he always has the skill to bring together what seems to be a lot of spur-of-the-moment choices and make them into stories that land so perfectly and satisfyingly and feel so inevitable in their endings -- Jon Klassen, author of This Is Not My Hat Guardian Impossible to resist Kirkus Reviews In this age of poorly thought out endings to books, it's a treat to end with one of Steig's many stunning last lines LA Times
