About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in a high-energy, silly mood or needs to see that mistakes and mischief can lead to unexpected new beginnings. It is an ideal choice for transitioning from a chaotic afternoon into a structured reading time through the use of rhythmic, predictable text. This vibrant adaptation of the classic folk song follows a mischievous goat who eats his master's clothes and is sent away, only to find a new life on a train full of musical animals. While the story touches on themes of accountability and being 'sent away,' it reframes the outcome as a joyful adventure. It is perfectly suited for children aged 3 to 7 who enjoy physical humor and repetitive rhymes. Parents will appreciate how the lyrical prose builds phonological awareness while turning a 'naughty' character into a lovable hero of his own journey.
