Goat is perfectly happy alone on his rock in the middle of the sea, quite content thank you very much. Except, well, he might like a chocolate biscuit, so off he paddles in his boat. When he returns, he’s quite content out there on his own, except of course when he decides he’d like a comfy cushion to sit on.
As Goat’s desires continue, he keeps paddling away and returning with an increasingly absurd variety of things, until his rock is covered. But what could the last thing Goat needs to be happy be? His friends of course!
A delightfully silly picture book about what it means to be content and what’s really important. The catchy rhyme will make this a firm favourite for sharing aloud. While Luke Scriven’s charming illustrations of goat’s increasingly daft antics mean giggles are guaranteed.
A gorgeously sweet and funny illustrated children's book about friendship, love and what's most important of all, from award-winning Smriti Halls.
