A flamboyantly fun tropical tale of love, fame, friendship from the creators of the international bestseller The Lion Inside.
Goldy wants one thing, and one thing only – to be a STAR. On the sunny island this gecko calls home, it’s always THE GOLDY SHOW, morning ’til night.
But when you’re dazzled by the limelight, it’s easy to lose sight of the world around you. And when Goldy’s performance starts to go wrong, the little gecko discovers that friendship means so much more than fame. Because when you treat the world with love, then love will come echoing back.
This funny and touching rhyming story is perfect for sharing, reminding us all that treating others with kindness makes the whole world a better and happier place.
I thought it was wonderful, it was nice at the end when goldy went to the back of the queue to let others have dinner first. I though it was funny when he was burping

I love geckos because that geckos in the story was very fun and that he had a guitar because Love music. I like that he learnt from the butterfly to not be rude and loud. This is a fiction book and I recommend anyone to read it.

I really like this book because Goldy always wants to be the best and finds out that he has a croaky voice, so that was why all of the other geckos from the jungle were saying he was a bad singer. At the end Goldy was very kind because he put the baby geckos to sleep and let the other geckos go to the front to get food. In the book they said Goldy was really bad singer and was a pain in the butt. That really mad me laugh! I would really recommend this book because it is really funny and has great rhyming.

It’s cool about a fiction story where was a gecko who was trying to find his echo. Luckily gecko’s are my 2nd favourite animal. I would recommend this book to people who like stories about animals.
