Scapegoat by Dean Hale

Scapegoat: The Story of Goat Named Oat and a Chewed-Up Coat
by Dean Hale

On the first page you're introduced to Jimmy Choat without a coat,
and the Choat's rhyming story.  Jimmy has misplaced his coat
and when the goat attempts to explain that the coat
is in the park--Jimmy turns the story around and blames it on the family
goat, Patsy Petunia Oat.

As the story unfolds Jimmy continues to have humorous, unfortunate adventures,
leaving Jimmy's scapegoat to be the family goat.

The brightly, exaggerated cartoonish characters lend to the stories
silly words and pictures--leaving you to wonder if Jimmy's "white lies" will ever be discovered.  It isn't till the end that the neighbor, who happens to speak goat,
unravels this tale.

A fun read for elementary aged boys and girls; those studying poetry.
