Manny Long Ears

By Boomerang Bob

Manny Long Ears is a delightful early reader about a goat with exceptionally long ears-and an exceptional mind. When a biplane nearly crashes into his field because of hidden gopher holes, Manny overhears the pilot and mechanic discussing the problem. Determined to help, Manny comes up with a solution: he and his goat friends will eat the grass short, leaving it long only around the holes so pilots can see and avoid them.Only problem? His goat family and friends are too lazy to help. So, Manny, true to his word, does it all himself. But his cleverness doesn't stop there-when pilots later need to know which way the wind is blowing, Manny's long ears become a perfect windsock. His smart ideas not only make landings safer but inspire the invention of the now-famous airport windsock.Told with warmth and wit, Manny Long Ears is a tale of problem-solving, perseverance, and doing the right thing-even when others won't.
