Review

The Greedy Goat is a large and attractive picture book, its cover displaying a cheerful looking goat with the capital letter G hanging from its mouth. By this farm tale's end, some readers and listeners stretching from two years old to five, will understand the meaning of the word greedy. All will have seen some common farm animals, basic colors, the days of the week, and even how it feels to be sick. A seasoned author/illustrator offers clear and brilliantly colored illustrations done in mixed media in a giggle producing story. Warmly recommended.

Overall Book Score: excellent
