This book saved my day, and possibly my VERY SANITY. As I was descending into a inky pit of customer-service induced despair, I happened upon "The Little Goat" in a shelving pile, and just like the Grinch, my shriveled heart grew three sizes larger. From this book, I learned that even though a goat will eat your hat and have to be saved from the tops of walls, it will also be your very best friend, carry your camping equipment, pull you around in a wagon (I might need two goats for that, show more unlike the 8 year old kid in the book), and then snuggle up to you at night. Who could ask for anything more?


Originally, I said: Oh, how I wish the book cover WAS on hand. It features pretty much the cutest, sassiest little goat ever, chewing on a mouthful of grass. But the book cover has been found! Observe the cute with your own eyes! show less

I loved these books as a child and they are still wonderful. Timothy the lamb and Emmy have adventures til he has grown enough to reunite with the sheep. Phoebe Dunn’s books are enchanting must reads capturing the small and joyous moments of a nature centered childhood.

A cute story about a girl and her lamb that could reconcile kids to the fact that farm pets eventually gotta go back to the farm. I liked that it used photographs--drawings are fine but also sort of the generic default, and the photos made shit real.

I love how this book has real-life pictures. The photographs are clear! The book is very heart-warming to see the boy and the dog become friends. I like how Tim didn't know which dog to choose, but one of the puppies made it easy for him. Charlie is such a cute name for a dog! I feel like people can relate to this book, especially if they have a dog.
