For Love Of Goats

Set up as an alphabet book, this is not for small children except as a read aloud – if you dare. Each letter has tongue twisters, alliterative stories or homonym word plays to challenge your elocution. “Alpines align alertly.” “Dandy wether considers whether or not this wether should go out in rainy weather.”
Nestled between blocks of letters are reminiscences of a long time goat keeper. Karen GoatKeeper has raised Nubian dairy goats for over 40 years and worked with other goat owners and 4-H Dairy Goat Projects. Her own goats have accompanied her through moves taking them to several states.
The Little Goat, Star, a sassy little doeling, tells her story in a series of short stories.
All of the letters, reminiscences and Star’s stories are accompanied by brush ink or watercolor illustrations.
