Bill Grogan's Goat

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Nadine Bernard Westcott. Westcott's comic watercolors enhance this somewhat awkward rendition of the silly song. Tied to a train track as punishment for eating three red shirts, a goat saves his skin by coughing up the clothes and using them to flag down a train. He offers the shirts to the animals on board but ends up eating the clothes anyway. A few bars of music are printed on one of the endpapers.
