Impractical Goat and levelheaded Donkey are best friends. In Outdoors, Goat agonizes over where to vacation, and Donkey helps him realize the beauties of home. In Sunglasses, Goat shops for items they don't need, and Donkey supports his friend despite his goofiness. The plot lines in these British imports are a bit treacly. Bright paintings effectively illustrate the friends' facial expressions. Review covers these titles: Goat and Donkey in Strawberry Sunglasses and Goat and Donkey in the Great Outdoors.
