Reviews

Barringtons debut is a fun farm fable with softly modeled cartoons that are full of zip (well, at least when Goat Girl is around) and expressive (mostly expressing boredom) creatures. Little listeners, wholl be anything but bored, will likely hope for further Goat Girl and Cow Boy adventures. This chipper tale of an unlikely farm friendship is sure to bring a smile. Kirkus Reviews A great lesson in individuality delivered in a charming fashion.This picture book debut is a must have for all collections. School Library Journal (starred review)
