The Greedy Goat (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780763694975)

A very greedy goat wreaks havoc in the barnyard in an entertaining cautionary tale from Petr Hor cek.

Goat is tired of always eating herbs and grass. She wants to try something new So one day she embarks on a tasting spree, trying the dog's food, the pig's potato peels, and more, with the farmer's underpants topping off a massive meal. Pretty soon, everyone else around the farm starts to notice that certain things have gone missing -- including a now elusive Goat herself. It turns out that all that adventurous eating has left her feeling quite ill, prompting a recovery that plays out with a nod to another (very hungry) children's favorite: "On Monday, her eyes stopped rolling. On Tuesday, her tummy stopped rumbling. . . ." After Goat is finally feeling like herself again, surely she'll have learned her lesson. Won't she?
