About Escape Goat
Review "In this follow-up to Lambslide, Patchett and Glasser return to the Farmers’ busy farm. This time, the focus is a happy-go-lucky unnamed goat who’s a serial escapee…The lesson here, delivered with the lightest of touches, is serious and unmistakable: justice, and goat justice in particular, will prevail." -- Publishers Weekly"...The visual jokes [are] made evident in Glasser’s exuberant ink-and-watercolor cartoons. The humans, the animals, and the farm itself are delightfully represented. Humorous, engaging illustrations support an…amusing tale." -- Kirkus Reviews"Patchett and Glasser follow up their first collaboration, Lambslide (2019), with another punny picture book…Readers will enjoy the silliness and the endearing illustrations from beloved Fancy Nancy (2005) illustrator Glasser, who truly captures the story’s chaotic energy.
