Goat for Dinner, Please

A dash of wit, a pinch of peril, and a spoonful of heart prove that the best meals are the ones we share in this slyly funny picture book about a very hungry alligator and the clever goat who outwits him.

“ROAR!”

Alligator wants Goat for dinner.
But Goat has other plans—starting with a cooking lesson.

To begin, goat is never eaten raw and never served without a “please” and “thank you.”

Before long, Alligator is in the kitchen peeling instead of pouncing. He’s sautéing instead of stalking. As Goat teaches him about aromatics and the art of a well-balanced stew, Alligator gets so swept up in the lesson, he almost forgets who’s supposed to be on the menu . . .

From acclaimed author-illustrator Tao Nyeu comes a delightful and irreverent picture book about an alligator and the goat he plans to have for dinner.
