Illustrated by
Ethan Long.
Rejected by his peers, fandango-dancing goat Fritz sets out to find a new herd. He's joined by a yodeling sheep and a glockenspiel-playing dog, and the three end up finding a sense of belonging with one another. Musical onomatopoeia and playful language make for a spirited read-aloud. Bright, energetic green, purple, and blue-tinged pictures illustrate this quirky tale of individuality and friendship.
