Escape Goat

From the
international bestselling author of Bel Canto and The Dutch House, Ann
Patchett, and the bestselling illustrator of the Fancy Nancy series, Robin
Preiss Glasser, comes a hilarious and heartwarming story about a goat who keeps
getting all the blame, but ultimately teaches one family about the importance
of honesty and owning up to your mistakes.
The Farmer family has
a big problem! Every day their goat escapes, and every day, Mr. Farmer brings
him back. So when things start to go awry on the farm, it must be the goat’s
fault.
Who’s to blame when
Mrs. Farmer’s petunias are trampled?
Or when all the
cupcakes for Archie’s party disappear?
And when the whole
bucket of paint is spilled?
Of course, everyone
blames the goat! But is it really his
fault?
Find out in this
epic collaboration between Ann Patchett and Robin Preiss Glasser, who create this perfect
picture book about telling the truth.
