Description

The (very) hungry goat has a big appetite that gets him into all kinds of adventures. He'll eat anything, from pig swill to flies, bugs, and bees; from frying pans to barbed wire and the bark of trees. The insatiable goat grows fatter and fatter, until one day he gobbles up something that sends him on the biggest adventure of all.
Whimsical illustrations and beautifully paced rhymes bring this greedy animal to life. Originally published in 1964,The Hungry Goatbrings a comic cautionary tale to a new generation of children.

Reviews

'The Hungry Goat ate just about anything in his path with an appetite that got him into and out of trouble. Short, simple words use rhyme with a distinctive, strong rhythm to verses which provides a clue to the final form the book takes.' * Kirkus Review *
