Goosehold
Good eggs. Real lessons. Happy household.

Welcome to the Goosehold

Gary is a goose. Keith has a job. Together they are attempting to run a household, make sensible choices and have a proper good life doing it.

Twenty-one child-friendly stories for ages 6–10 and family reading, covering money, work, saving, mistakes, business, friendship and life without turning any of it into homework.

The household

Meet the good eggs

Gary

Literal, enthusiastic, fiercely loyal and exceptionally confident in authority he mostly awarded himself. Owns a fluorescent vest and ceremonial spade.

Keith

Works for Goose Logistics, brings money into the household and provides a useful human counterweight to Gary's increasingly ambitious plans.

The Goosehold

More than a house: a place where work, saving, investing, helping others and enjoying life all have to fit together.

Books 1–21

Gary has somehow got a publishing department

Beyond the books

The Goosehold is bigger on the inside.

Department of Recognition

Gary notices good human behaviour and produces unnecessarily formal paperwork to commemorate it.

Goose Logistics Regional Operations

The suspiciously serious logistics organisation where Gary built his professional reputation and Keith still works.

Goosehold Games

Build a household, grow businesses, run Goose Logistics and learn how money, cash flow, risk and choices fit together through play.

Parents & grown-ups

The stories are written to make useful conversations about money, work and everyday choices easier—not to pretend Gary is a financial adviser. He is a goose.
