Gaila Pasquaila Magaila Magoo

"Gaila Pasquaila Magaila Magoo" is a whimsical rhyming narrative that is dedicated to the author's cousin, Gail Otsig, who is a talented and loving mother of two. With great joy, a little irreverence, and a lot of artistic license, Gaila's family is expanded from two to ninety-two in this popular fictional story! Although a family favourite that makes Gail blush, this extended rhyming poem has been enjoyed by countless classes through the years who have had their names added as members of Gaila's family in the story. First enjoyed as a read-aloud in the classroom or the library, students always chime in for the happy, repetitive, rhyming refrain before easily adapted copies are sent home for these young readers to share with their own family. Whether read repeatedly for pleasure or practice, this story is definitely a tribute to mothers everywhere who are so very resourceful, talented, flexible, selfless, and loving in their dedication to the most challenging and rewarding profession of all--motherhood!
