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 Dubosarsky was born in Sydney and wanted to be a writer from the age of six. She is now the author of over 60 books and has won many national prizes for children’s literature. She has been nominated internationally for the Hans Andersen and Astrid Lindgren awards. In her spare time she can be found playing the ukulele and reading cake recipes.
Ursula was the Australian Children’s Laureate 2020–2021.
