| The famous Polacco goats are back! In this playful interactive chant, three mischievous little goats find their way out of the gate (squeak, squeak, squeak!), over a bridge (click, click, click!), through some mud (squish, squish, squish!), onto a carousel (um pah pah pah, um pah pah!) . . . and right into the path of an angry ogre! Of course, they are happy to turn right around and run straight back over the path they traveled, until at last they are back home again, safe and sound. Patricia Polacco''s color palette is bright and springlike in her second goat adventure ("G is for Goat") for very young readers. |

Annotation:
Inspired by the action rhyme "We're Going on a Bear Hunt," this picture book reinvents the rhyme not as the hunt for a bear, but rather as the adventures of a trio of feisty goats. Watercolor and colored pencil illustrations accompany the text.

Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"The form of this action rhyme has made it a surefire storytime audience pleaser for years, and Polacco doesn't mess with success; her refreshing take on this favorite piece has opportunities for participation, a winning trio of gangly goats, and watercolor-and-pencil illustrations suitable for viewing by small groups." - Janice M. Del Negro March 2004
