About this item
In Goats, emergent readers will learn about the behaviors of goats that live on a farm. Vibrant, full-color photos and carefully leveled text will engage beginning readers as they discover why goats have floppy ears, hard hooves, horns, and other physical attributes. A labeled diagram helps readers identify body parts of a goat, while a picture glossary reinforces new vocabulary. Children can learn more about goats online using our safe search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. Goats also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a table of contents, and an index. Goats is part of Jump!'s Animals on the Farm series.

She now resides in Evergreen, Colorado with her husband, John, their four boys, two horses, and a very energetic runaway dog named Koki.Cari loves to visit libraries and schools and talk about the power of the imagination and the joy of reading.Besides writing and reading, Cari enjoys running, skiing, riding horses, yoga, and playing with Playmobil toys.
