“Perfect for the little silly goose in every family. All proceeds benefit children’s hospitals.”
— Mollie • HearthFire Books and Treats
Bookseller recommendation
“This is a cute family book. While listening to the audio, read by the author, I pictured the episode I Love Lucy, where she tried everything to get the Buckingham Palace guards to crack. It is up to children, young and old, to act as crazy as possible in order to get this very serious, non-smiling goose, to laugh. Will readers be able to succeed? I definitely think families will enjoy a few moments of silliness, as they read this book together. I love a good deed book, no matter the genre, no matter the age. As some of you may know, Jimmy Kimmel has been a strong supporter of children’s hospitals and correcting the healthcare system. His proceeds from this book will be helping children’s hospitals across the country.”

Meet a very Serious Goose in the audio edition of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel's fun and funny picture book! There is nothing silly about this goose. You CANNOT make her laugh, so DON'T EVEN TRY!
Written and narrated by Jimmy Kimmel, this audiobook challenges young listeners to bring the silly out of a very Serious Goose. Inspired by Jimmy's nickname for his kids, The Serious Goose reminds us to be silly in a serious way. Put your little comedians in front of a mirror and challenge them to make this no-nonsense goose smile. This delightful audiobook is guaranteed to create gaggles of giggles time and time again!
Kimmel’s proceeds from sales of THE SERIOUS GOOSE will be donated to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) and children’s hospitals around the country.

Reviews
“Dares readers to crank up the volume... may add a few grown-up voices to the younger chorus of giggles. The goose is all that's serious here." —Kirkus Reviews“In his savvy, funny picture-book debut, Kimmel uses his limited drawing style to great advantage; in fact, the less the goose does, the funnier it is…. Kimmel knows that when you tell a kid not to do something, it’s sure to unleash silliness of epic proportions.” —Publishers Weekly
