With fantastic rhyme, colourful illustrations and opportunity for exposure to expression - the children will be roaring with laughter as they join along with the rhyming strings, and make predictions for what is upcoming.
This hilarious tale is another by the creators of The Cat and the Rat and the Hat, and offers great opportunity to engage children in rhyme, repetition, creativity and prediction. A must for all book shelves!

If you love rhyming books, The Goat and the Stoat and the Boat is another clever, funny book by Em Lynas and Matt Hunt. The main characters goat and stoat are not keen on sharing a boat. The amazing illustrations detail the antics of the characters, with pages turning from horizonal to vertical and deftly capturing the reader's eye and their attention!
This fabulous book follows The Cat and the Rat and the Hat and is a must for every classroom. My Year 2 children (ages 6+) loved that Goat and Stoat could not share the boat and wrote labels on the side of the boat, claiming the boat for themselves! A super rhyming book!
