A Tale of Two Goats
Tom Barber
Illustrated by Rosalind Beardshaw
Farmer Cole is afraid that Farmer Jones’ goat is eating up all his vegetables. Farmer Jones thinks it’s Farmer Cole’s goat who is eating his vegetables. That’s why Farmer Cole and Farmer Jones each decide to build a fence. But the goats are very good friends. And both goats are experts at chewing through wooden fences . . . and at digging tunnels under brick walls . . . and even at jumping over very high fences. What can Farmer Cole and Farmer Jones do to keep both their goats and themselves happy? Here’s an amusing story with a moral that every boy and girl will understand.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 4–In this playful lesson in friendship, Muriel and Myrtle meet daily to swap vegetables from their respective areas. Their owners hate to see another animal eat their produce so they board up the fence between the two fields. The friends gnaw through and continue to trade and visit as the farmers go to greater and greater lengths to keep them apart. The goats come up with bigger and better ideas, but the fence is made impenetrable. Finally, Muriel and Myrtle become so thin and despondent that the worried farmers tear down the barrier and develop a tentative friendship of their own. The writing is clear, and the matter-of-fact voice is a great counterpoint to the silly story. The expressive illustrations are also quite funny. Children will laugh at the creativity and rebelliousness of the goats and appreciate their tenacity and loyalty.–Amelia Jenkins, Juneau Public Library, AK
