One Little Goat (HB)

Author(s): Ursula Dubosarsky; Andrew Joyner (Illustrator)

Picture Books

It starts with one little goat. It ends with one little goat. But what happens in between is a whirlwind of nonsense and fun. Ursula Dubosarsky and Andrew Joyner make the most of their advanced sense of the ridiculous in this hilarious read-aloud traditional tale. Fabulous repetition and shout-aloud sound effects are complemented by increasingly hilarious illustrations. The text is based on a traditional song recited at the close of the Jewish Passover.
