Bill Grogan's Goat
By Mary Ann Hoberman
Illustrated by Nadine Bernard Westcott
Hoberman and
Westcott team up for another rousing rendition of a popular children's
song, Bill Grogan's Goat, in this board book edition of the sing-along
chant. Each hilarious verse is accompanied by Westcott's watercolor-and-ink
illustrations that show Bill's Goat coming up with fast solutions
to his troubles after Bill Grogan tied him to the railroad track
for eating his shirts.
You and the
kids will share a rolicking good time, laughing and singing this
familiar song. Bill Grogan's Goat is a welcome addition
to the sing-along-stories collection in a version that is just right
for little hands. This is one of the MENC recommended American folk
songs for children, and would make a wonderful game for a children's
party.
