(2) PS Goat lives in a petting zoo, bombarded with unwanted physical affection. After attempts at rooming with animals in the big zoo, Goat finds solitude in a tree; illustrations help readers recognize before Goat does that he now feels lonely. White-bordered illustrations contrasting with full spreads amplify Goat's sense of confinement, and chunky crayon and charcoal art works with the pithy text to make his dilemma real.
