Timeless Children's Story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Billy Whiskers, An Autobiography of a Goat is a wonderful book that still makes children giggle. I heard about this book as a child from my dad and was so glad to still be able to find a copy. I learned that it was Robert Kennedy's childhood favorite book as it was my dad's. I am sharing it as a storyteller. If you would like to take your children back to America 1900's and teach them about life then, this fun story is a good one to share.
Fabulous!

The old fasioned wording and phrases only helped to improve the vocabulary of my 10-year old child. It didn't take long before he got the feel for the longer sentences and how to read them. He thought it was great and wants to read the other books in the series. Very humorous and exciting!
Billy Whiskers Gets In Trouble
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I'll add to the commentary above -- an excellent book from the rural and innocent beginnings of the 20th Century....Billy Whiskers, a goat, is always getting into trouble -- and in this way is endearing to children who feel that they too are always in trouble. But Billy perseveres and stubbornly holds his ground.
An entertaining book with old-fashioned flavor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This is a very amusing book, lots of fun for children and the adults who might read it to them. However, your "age level" is incorrect. You state that the age level is 4-8. A 4-year old could not possibly read this book, and neither could any but a very bright eight-year old. This would be a good book to read to an early elementary child, but not for a child to solo read until third or fourth grade. There are a lot of old-fashioned words and phrases.
