This is Gossie. She is playing hide and seek with the other goslings. Gossie is seeking. Hello, Gertie!

    Splash! Gossie finds Peedie hiding in the boat.

    Gossie finds BooBoo in the birdbath.

    Gossie has found all of the goslings except—

    Gertie helps Gossie look for Ollie. They peek under the hay bin.

    And peep among the flowers.

    The mice help them look, too.
Squeak, squeak!
Where could Ollie be?

    Peedie just knows that he can find Ollie. He looks among the apples.
    He searches through the grass.

    Peedie peeks under the flowerpot, but...

    he forgot what he is looking for.
    Peedie takes a nap. He feels sure he'll remember when he wakes up.

    BooBoo looks for Ollie, too. She looks for Ollie up in a beehive.

    She looks for Ollie under the hens.

    Then BooBoo starts to feel a little hungry. Lunch!

    Gossie calls all of the goslings together. They must find Ollie.

    They look high and low.

    They dive in and search under the water. Where is Ollie?

    The goslings look everywhere. And then...

    They find Ollie ... sound asleep.

    Up, down, above, around, behind, beneath, over!
