Description

It starts with one little goat. It ends with one little goat. But what happens in between is a whirlwid of nonsense and fun. International favourites Ursula Dubosarsky and Andrew Joyner make the most of their advanced sense of the ridiculous in this hilarious read-aloud traditional tale.

Reviews

"The rhythmic narrative begs to be read aloud--viewers will laugh all the way through, turn the book over and begin again. A whole lot of fun!" --School Library Journal
"The duo behind The Terrible Plop returns with a spiky riff on the cumulative song 'Had Gadya.'" --Publishers Weekly
