With a hefty dollop of humor, Atinuke’s rollicking counting story takes on a life of its own when Granny’s mischievous goats start escaping.
Granny’s got a goat! Granny’s got a goat! Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, but more and more and more and more! Excitement is in the air as Granny collects more and more goats! Eight are great, fifty are nifty . . . but when their number reaches one hundred, things start to get out of hand. There’s a brown goat beeping on the bus, a gray one sitting in the salon, a white goat stealing panties from the line, and one has gone missing altogether—who can count in all this mayhem? Beloved storyteller Atinuke has a field day following goats throughout the town, while a gleeful crowd of children try their best to track them. With colorful, spirited illustrations by Lauren Hind, here’s an uproarious read-aloud you can count on to bring giggles and smiles.
Atinuke was born in Nigeria and spent her childhood in both Africa and the United Kingdom. Her books include the Anna Hibiscus series, illustrated by Lauren Tobia; the Too Small Tola series, illustrated by Onyinye Iwu; Beti and the Little Round House, illustrated by Emily Hughes; and Africa, Amazing Africa, illustrated by Mouni Feddag. She is also the author of L Is for Love; B Is for Baby; Baby Goes to Market; Baby, Sleepy Baby; and Catch That Chicken!, all illustrated by Angela Brooksbank. Atinuke lives in Wales.
