A very greedy goat wreaks havoc in the barnyard in an entertaining cautionary tale from Petr Horacek.

Goat is tired of always eating herbs and grass. She wants to try something new! So one day she embarks on a tasting spree, trying the dog's food, the pig's potato peels, and more, with the farmer's underpants topping off a massive meal. Pretty soon, everyone else around the farm starts to notice that certain things have gone missing ' including a now elusive Goat herself. It turns out that all that adventurous eating has left her feeling quite ill, prompting a recovery that plays out with a nod to another (very hungry) children's favorite: 'On Monday, her eyes stopped rolling. On Tuesday, her tummy stopped rumbling. . . .' After Goat is finally feeling like herself again, surely she'll have learned her lesson. Won't she?

Industry Reviews

"A distinctive and extremely funny cautionary tale about a goat who's had enough of eating grass. Now in paperback, it also teaches colours and the days of the week." --The Bookseller Horï¿½cek's richly textured art is large enough to share at a distance--and wonderful to pore over up close. The cautionary tale of overeating calls to mind The Very Hungry Caterpillar. But, unlike Carle's metamorphosed-into-beauty caterpillar, Horï¿½cek's stubborn goat stays just as she is: greedy and hilariously foolish. Delectable. A surefire hit with hungry goats and hungry readers alike. --Kirkus Reviews
