Gertie the goat usually loves playing with the children, but she's not feeling well. The children bring her indoors to rest while they watch TV. But why are the channels changing by themselves?
Besides having fun, goats can survive in challenging environments, providing nutritious milk and cheese for children and their families. A portion of the proceeds from this book will go to donate goats to families who need them. Written by a beloved preschool teacher, the gentle humor of this sweet story will appeal to parents and children alike.
