I'll be more than happy to read this story to my grand-daughter when she is a bit older.
I really love this book. It's a good story about a goat who is different and gets laughed at by the other goats. But Vertigoat has a supportive family and a good friend who give him good advice and tell him that it's ok to be different. In the end, it's Vertigoat's difference which saves the day. I think it's a great message to give to children. The only thing I would amend is the illustrations - I think the goats need to look a bit more cuddly and cute.... Read Full Review
