Customer Reviews

Great for my 3y/o! Great illustrations.

A farm story about comparing animal sizes. It got it mainly because it's inspired by a Puerto Rican folklore story, and we love that as a multicultural family.

A big favorite for our twin 2 year old smarties!

They love this book, and it's taught them a lot about billy goats. They have been referencing billy goats a lot since getting the book, and they also really understood that the little, tiny bee was as capable of getting the billy goat out of the garden as the big animals. Beautiful illustrations that they sit and look at on their own. Well worth it.
