Prospect the goat is easily cherished and adored
583532
My husband and I have read this to our little one around 10 times so far in the last month because of how much he enjoys hearing about Prospect the goat.  This is based on a true story and it is told in a loving way and is easily remembered.  We frequently go hiking and see a herd of goats and as we walk.  They are affectionate and walk up to the fence to see us.  I tell my little one the story of Prospect and I am easily able to do so.  I tell him about a cold and lonely little goat who gets a loving home and becomes warm and strong.  The outer shell of the book has stood up to our little one and the pages are crisp and strong.  The pictures are whimsical and cute yet they are realistic.  This is a great book and would be a great gift.

If you love goats you will love this story about a goat named Dora.  Karen takes you and Dora on an adventure that you will love.  This a great read for children of all ages.

My rescue squirrel was overcome with joy (expressed in happy cheeps) when popped into this brilliant, enchanting hoodie, five minutes after his Christmas Mewgaroo Nyangaroo arrived. He is happily asleep in it right now. I am normally a US size 8, and the large is very comfortable and spacious (I probably could have gone with a medium, but I kind of like things to be large and don't know if it will shrink). I'm 5'7" and very pleased with the long arms with useful paw prints, as well as the cozy hood with large ears that announce my feelings of lasting love and friendship for the animal kingdom. The pocket is deep and roomy - I think a kitten, puppy, small dog, or medium sized cat would all fit comfortably inside and enjoy this hoodie with happiest delight.

This arrived from Japan in 3 weeks exactly during the Christmas season, sooner than the time estimated.

You and your children will be delighted by this story. Hiccups the goat pulls his caring friend, Star, into a dangerous adventure. It's a tale about best friends getting into trouble together and learning several lessons along the way, just like kids do. The rancher is endearing along with the animals, and the pictures are so colorful and grabbing. The book is full of quality illustrations that will entrance kids, plus the story pulls you in. Kids will love learning about the real Star and Hiccups too!

My wife and I think this will be wonderful to share with our infant grandson in a few months. We love the variety of animals and their homes. The story and illustrations are charming and whimsical. The welcoming ending will warm adult's and little one's hearts.

I first saw this book while on vacation at Grand Canyon National Park.  It was on display next to a handmade Navajo rug woven by a young girl.  Although the book was not for sale, I remembered the title of the book and vowed to find it.  Amazon has just about EVERYTHING and of course, The Goat in The Rug was available for purchase.  The story told by Geraldine, the goat, is hilarious as she follows Glenmae through the process of creating the rug.  Geraldine is just like a kid which makes her easy for a child to relate too (as well as a grown adult)!  I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves learning and enjoys a laugh.  My favorite book, hands down!

This wise and magical book was a happy way for me to end the year.  It would not have languished so long on my to-read list had I known what a delightful treat was in store for me.  The dog is a being so caring, affectionate and highly evolved he deserves sainthood, yet Bailey seems like a very real character.  Does he exist somewhere? He will make you laugh and cry (it could have had fewer sad bits for my emotional make-up).  I don't give out 5 stars lightly, but I wish I had written this touching book it is brilliant.

This was first published in the 1924 as a reader my mother used in grade school. There are wonderful 3-color illustrations and little "lesson plans" at the end of each story. One of the stories, a favorite of the generation that followed my mother's, is the story of Crosspatch and Playmate. Playmate is a friend to all the animals and Crosspatch is a self-centered and spoiled rich girl.  It is a Cinderella like story where all the animals help Playmate attend the ball in a beautiful leaf covered dress, a fox rolls up to be her muff, a squirrel adorns her neck and a bird alights her hat . .. We all found the story a complete delight and never tired of reading it. With the amazing power of the internet and booksellers on Amazon, I now have my own copy in practically pristine condition.  And, at a reasonable price . . Oh joy!

I purchased Wooly Bear about a month ago for myself (I'm an adult), and he is as soft and cute as he looks in his picture. He is much fatter than he appears in his picture though, and the beans in his bottom make him pretty heavy (might be difficult for a small child's hands to grab him). His fur is wonderfully silky and soft. Best of all is his warm smile; adults and children will love this bear---he's a charmer!

This book wasn't really a baseball book. It wasn't a biography. It was something of a dairy. It was a candid presentation of Buck O'Neil. Through anecdotes of his travels, the book gives you a great glimpse of Buck O'Neil. He truly was an eternal optimist that found wonder and beauty in every day he lived. He befriended everyone he met.

Buck O'Neil was the sort of man that our society sorely needs more of. I couldn't help but smile and feel good as I read this book. Buck reminded me of why I loved baseball as a kid. He dulled my cynicism of modern MLB baseball. He pulled me back to the ballpark. Buck enjoyed the game at its most basic level. He enjoyed big league games. He enjoyed pickup games in small towns. He enjoyed talking about the game. But, best of all he enjoyed the humanity surrounding the game, all participants from stars to fans.

The pure simple joy he found in baseball rekindled my love for this uniquely American game. I recently took my boys to an NCAA regional tournament and watched some very talented kids playing the game because they love it. It was one of the best times my sons and I have enjoyed in recent memory. It was just the sort of day, Buck would have loved.

My little grandson is an avid New Orleans Saints fan.  Imagine at 2 years old he is getting a great collection.
This little piggy is precious and a great addition.  I have not seen another one like it anywhere else.

I love this piece - it's so cute and fun and goes well with our Christmas village - it's a matte piece, not shiny like some others that are offered. One of the goats is on a little wire/spring so it can move like it's jumping. Adorable!

Fluffy and adorable ... my sister, who will be 73 the end of June mentioned she loved goats,
will be pleasantly surprised with this birthday gift.

The Tragedy of the Goats is a character driven tale touching on the universal pursuit of happiness.  At a weekend convention we learn that the direction towards happiness is not the same for everybody, but that in the end compassion is what really matters.  As I read this I wasn't at all sure where it was going but when it got there I was satisfied.

This alpaca is so adorable and fluffy! I wasn't expecting him to be so soft but found myself hugging him like any soft pillow out there! The details in his clothes are accurate and just as nice to pet. I love everything about him! :)
