  BooBoo is a curious blue gosling.

  Who likes to eat.

  One afternoon BooBoo saw bubbles floating over the pond.

  She opened her bill and swallowed a bright blue bubble.

  "Good food," said BooBoo.

  Then she burped.

  She burped forward.

  She burped backward.

  She burped under water.

  She burped in the weeds.

  "Drink water!" said the turtle. BooBoo guzzled and gulped water.

  She burped a teeny tiny bubble. "Good food," she said.

  BooBoo is a gosling. A small, blue gosling who likes to eat. Almost everything!
