Synopsis

Dean Hale won widespread acclaim as coauthor of the award-winning graphic novels Rapunzel's Revenge and Calamity Jack. In his first beginning-reader book, Hale delivers a delightful, rhyme-packed tale sure to become a bedtime favorite. Being a goat isn't easy-especially in the Choat household. Petunia P.

But Petunia's about to show that the culprit isn't a goat-it's a Choat!
