Gary
A goose. Literal, enthusiastic, fiercely loyal and exceptionally confident in authority he mostly awarded himself. Owns a fluorescent vest and ceremonial spade.
Good eggs. Real lessons. Happy household.
Welcome to the Goosehold
Joe is human. Gary is a goose. Keith is a bigger goose. Gary and Keith live with Joe, and together the three of them make up the Goosehold: making sensible choices, getting things wrong, learning about money and work, and having 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.

Meet the good eggs
Keith
A bigger goose than Gary. Keith works for Goose Logistics, brings money into the household and is usually the calmer counterweight to Gary's increasingly ambitious plans.
Joe
Human. Joe lives with Gary and Keith and is the third member of the Goosehold household.
The Goosehold
Joe, Gary and Keith living together: a household where work, saving, investing, helping others and enjoying life all have to fit together.
Gary has somehow got a publishing department
The complete first Goosehold run is written. This is the official home of the book series. The books are not currently available to buy; ordering will only open once the manuscripts, illustrations, layout and physical proofs are publication-ready.
📚 Preview catalogue only — no orders are being taken yet.
Publishing statusThe 21 books are written and are now in pre-publication production. They are not currently for sale and this site does not take book orders yet.
The Goosehold is bigger on the inside.
Goosehold U
The fictional university of Goosehold, with real, useful learning for young good eggs aged 6–10. Take courses, complete activities and earn Goosehold badges.
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.
