About this listen

In the Choat family, you never have to look hard to find a culprit. Missing TV remote? Blame the goat! Lost coat? Keys in the moat? Broken boat? Blame the goat!

But don't be surprised if the goat doesn't take it lying down. In this hilarious, rhyme-happy picture book, children will love to pore over the funny illustrations, picking up clues that all is not as it seems between Jimmy Choat and the goat, Petunia P. Oat. Because Petunia knows who's really to blame, and before long the whole family will too!

Raises awareness on the cruel and invisible issue of family bullying/scapegoating in a clear, light and fun way. Great book to prevent or stop bullying.

Excellent Education on Family Scapegoating

It was actually nice to listen to and was a book with more rhyming than anything. It was nice to listen to (I listened as an adult to tap back into nostalgia & enjoyed it lol)

Good for a short kids book
