Funny. Captain Marvel's origin story told by Goose's perspective. With a spotlight on Monica Rambeau and special appearance by Carol Danvers :)
Great version for kids.

Thank you for the ARC Disney Books!

This is the CUTEST book! Love Goose-y!
(Better give it 5 stars. I don’t wanna get SLORPED!)

A cute kid-oriented retelling of Captain Marvel through the eyes of her pet cat(/flerken), Goose. Probably better appreciated if you've seen the movie, which I have. The art is adorable and I like the buildup to what a "slorp" actually looks like. The emphasis on Goose's bond with Monica makes me hope to see them back together in Captain Marvel 2. (I kinda forget who wound up with Goose at the end of the first movie, I wanna say it was Carol but I really can't remember...)

While Goose waits for Dr. Lawson to come back she goes to live with Carol Danvers in Louisiana. Goose wants to slorp but can't due to a muzzle until Nick Fury takes it off. Monica feeds Goose tuna after captain Marvel chases of the kree.

This was so cute and so sweet! I laughed multiple times throughout and immediately had to re-read when I finished. Perfect for any young Marvel fan!

Brilliant. Cameos of all your favourite characters from the movie and Goose is drawn ever so beautifully...my only gripe is that it's way too short!!

This picture book makes NO sense if you haven't seen the movie. I read this as a possibility for a superhero-themed storytime, but I couldn't follow the story. There are random bits of context thrown in, but that just made this seem even more random and confusing. This is just for major Marvel fans.

Simple, but cute. This is a kid-friendly retelling of the MCU Captain Marvel movie from Goose’s point of view. While I am not a fan of the art style in this book, I am a fan of flerkens. No way am I gonna pass up a chance at more Goose content 🐱

I loved the illustrations the story left much to be desired. It made no sense unless you had watched the movie.

A book about a cat who is really a Flerken. A sci-fi type book and is part of the captain marvel series.

Goose, the Flerken from the movie, Captain Marvel, tells her story here. In this adorable book with wonderful illustrations, Goose tells the story we saw in the movie, from her perspective. It's a great summary of the movie, and tells us a little more about Goose's personality. Very clever and well done. We're partial to Goose at our house, since we have a chubby ginger cat of our own. Lots of fun.
