Billy and Goat go to the State Fair, hoping for the blue ribbon in the best-goat competition. Goat's propensity to seek "real-life" adventures prompts a raucous chase. When the friends happily reunite, they opt for an adventure over the competition--"Besides, Billy already knew who the best goat really was." Yaccarino's signature flat, retro digital illustrations joyfully capture the reciprocal friendship.
