Mountain goat Huck is obsessed with eating flowers, which ultimately leads to a moral conundrum. The sportscaster-style omniscient narration ("He's not going to try that impossible climb, is he?"), Huck's dorky look ("Do you like his trendy beard?"), a plot point concerning underpants, a forehead-slapper of a final image--readers looking for satisfying silliness have come to the right place.
