Customer Reviews

great book for kids

My son loves Bill Peet books, me too. This is a cute one, good message as usual. I like other Bill Peet books better, like Smokey or The Caboose that Got Loose or Cyrus the Unsinkable Sea Serpent. But this one is really nice.

A Family Classic

This book was my husband's favorite book in the 60s when he was in elementary school. Now we read it to our children, along with many other Bill Peet books. We love the illustrations, plots and rhymes in Bill Peet's books. Buford is a sweet and innocent mountain goat dealing with a handicapping condition (oversized curling horns) that threatens his safety. Then when he's cornered he discovers a way to use his horns not only to escape the hunters, but to ski. And everyone at the ski resort loves him and makes him welcome. If you like this one, try Eli, Cowardly Clyde, and The Wump World.

Buford is my FAVORITE Bighorn

These are my absolute favorite pictures from Bill Peet. Buford has trouble with his tribe due to being smaller than the other bighorns, but manages to find a way to be proud in spite of the opinions of others.
