The story starts off with a little girl and her pet goat. She tells us how her goat likes to eat oats, and her boat and then the goat eats her backpack. The little girl asks the reader if they would like a goat. The story goes on to show other pets such as a goldfish and what it can do as well as a dog and what it can do. It ends with the goat trying to eat the book. I would recommend this for optional purchase. It would be okay to add to a beginning reading collection if you were just focusing on the phonics of the story. The storyline flows until the end of the book when the goat eats the last page. ( )
