ESCAPE GOAT

ESCAPE GOAT by Ann Patchett. Illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser

Oh my! Escape Goat by Ann Patchett is fun in so many ways! The Farmer family owns a little goat who decides to check out the world on the other side of the fence. Now all kinds of mishaps are happening around the farm, but are they all the little goat's fault? This picture book is great for all ages. It teaches an important lesson on blaming. It also (in a tongue-in-cheek way)teaches us the meaning of the word scapegoat.

Robin Preiss Glasser illustrates Escape Goat in ink and watercolors. If you are a fan of Fancy Nancy you will recognize her delightful, flowery work right away.
