Be sure to check out the end pages for a little extension of the story. With lots of repeated words, this would be a good book for a new reader who wants to hold a big book. The QR code on the back links to a free audiobook presentation, complete with sound effects. I appreciated that even though the stoat wasn't kind to the goat, the goat chose to be kind and helpful when the stoat was in trouble

The Goat and the Stoat and the Boat by Em Lynas & Matt Hunt.

The story in this book is told in verse with clever and funny rhymes that will delight children and the adults who share it. The illustrations are colorful and lively. The story tells of a friendship that didn't start smoothly but ends up with two happy fellow passengers on a boat. I can't wait to have on of my great nieces or nephews read it.
Highly recommended.
