Reviews

[Diana Pettis]

I have enjoyed this beginning reader.

BAD GOAT!!! And probably a very fat one with digestive issues, too, at this rate! Still, as an early reader, it's just fine. Simple and predictable, which is just what readers this age need.

[Lynn Davidson]

Dumpy is a farm dump truck that drives around with feed for the animals. One day, the baby goat has gone missing, so while taking feed around to the animals, Dumpy is also searching for the baby goat. Cute story nicely illustrated.

From the back:
Many things are missing at Merryhill Farm -- the cat's milk, the baby roses, Pop-Up's hat, and nuts and apples. Even Baby Goat is missing until Dumpy finds him.

Mine:
What a wonderful story to about finding baby goat. Dumpy along the way will help feed all the other animals on the farm, but must find baby goat and does so. Baby goat has eaten all the missing items and is found sleeping in Dumpy’s barn.
