Reviews

K-Gr 4-In this playful lesson in friendship, Muriel and Myrtle meet daily to swap vegetables from their respective areas. Their owners hate to see another animal eat their produce so they board up the fence between the two fields. The friends gnaw through and continue to trade and visit as the farmers go to greater and greater lengths to keep them apart. The goats come up with bigger and better ideas, but the fence is made impenetrable. Finally, Muriel and Myrtle become so thin and despondent that the worried farmers tear down the barrier and develop a tentative friendship of their own. The writing is clear, and the matter-of-fact voice is a great counterpoint to the silly story. The expressive illustrations are also quite funny. Children will laugh at the creativity and rebelliousness of the goats and appreciate their tenacity and loyalty.-Amelia Jenkins, Juneau Public Library, AK Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
