It starts with one little goat.
It ends with one little goat.
But what happens in between is a whirlwind of nonsense and fun.
International favourites Ursula Dubosarsky and Andrew Joyner make the most of their advanced sense of the ridiculous in this hilarious read-aloud traditional tale.
Ursula Dubosarksy is a multi-award winning novelist and one of Australia’s finest writers for children. She was born in Sydney in 1961. After studying several languages at university, she taught French to primary school children. She then travelled to Israel where she spent one of her most memorable years on a kibbutz. Since 1989, Ursula has published many award-winning books including The White Guinea-Pig, The First Book of Samuel, High Hopes and Abyssinia. Her work is recognised overseas as well as in Australia: the Cambridge Guide to Children’s Books in English describes her as ‘one of the most original voices in Australian writing for young people’.
Ursula was the Australian Children’s Laureate 2020–2021.
