This very simple rhyming alphabet book takes on a subject dear to the author's heart: goats! These lovable, frisky animals prance through the pages, wreaking havoc and charming young children on each spread, from A is for Apple (a goat's favorite snack) to Z is for triplets Zig, Zag, and Zoe.
Patricia Polacco really knows her goats-she has raised more than a few herself at her Michigan farm-so her depictions of them are authentic and loving. And the easy, breezy alphabet text ("L is for lunch-get out of their way! M is for Munich; clothes taste better than hay.") will appeal to readers of all ages.

PreSchool-K-Another treat for those who enjoyed Babushka's Mother Goose (Philomel, 1995) and love animals. A barefoot shepherd girl in Polacco's trademark colorful costume cuddles and frolics with rambunctious goats. The rhyming text, which alternates from special to ordinary, covers these animated creatures from "A is for Apple, the best treat of all" to "Z- amaZing!/Three babies came- /Zig, Zag and Zo' will be their names." Surrounded by idyllic scenes of flapping ducks, lapping kittens, and running dogs, the charming animals will energize any storytime. The movement is flawless in these compositions. In fact, the pencil-and-watercolor illustrations against white backgrounds steal the spotlight, with charming details such as a singing bluebird perched on a goat's back. A delight.
