Illustrated by
Matthew Cordell.
A goat and a hen must cross a moat to deliver goods to the queen. But how? "Science!" Their amusing attempts to get a barrel to serve as their boat guide readers through the concept of buoyancy. The determined goat and the good-sport hen's rhyming banter is comical, and their earnest efforts are humorously captured in Cordell's cartoon illustrations.
