Bill Grogan's Goat

My 3 year old absolutely loves this story and thinks it is very funny. However, she surprised me one night when we got to the page with the food on it, she started pretending to take the food and feed it to the goat. It really showed me she had sympathy for the goat. Now its a game - she can't wait for me to get to that page to "feed the goat" again.

Bill Grogan's goat is another great read/sing book. This is also one of the MENC recommended American folk songs that all children should know. It comes with the music in the front of the book. My students' ask me for this book often and I find it hard to resist them. It is an especially good classroom book, because the hardcover version is very big so all your students can see the pictures. You and your class can sing it in echo format or as written. It's hilarious from beginning to finish. Wonderful.
