A Goose Named Gilligan is the true story of a beautiful, untamed river, a man who cherishes it, and a most extraordinary goose. When the Wabash River starts receding, Jerry rescues the exposed river mussels from hungry raccoons. He soon discovers another threatened creature: a beautiful wild goose caught in a fishing line. Unable to fly, the goose will surely drown unless Jerry intervenes. Once freed, grateful Gilligan follows Jerry home, but the man know that wild creatures should live in the wild. The way the goose resolves the dilemma shows how conflicts can be solved creatively. "The goose was struggling to get away, but the more he fought, the worse it got. His feet and wings were wrapped tight in the lines, and the hooks were caught in his feathers. The float was hanging from his neck, and if it hadn't been so serious, Jerry would have laughed out loud." — from the book
