BILLY'S GOAT by Cynthia Davidson Bend
Billy’s Goat is a novel for young readers that will charm adults also. Life on the Brock family farm in the 1950’s provides an exciting school for Bill, Jane and Sammy. At the neighboring goat dairy, Bill watches the birth of the kid he longs to have, then gets a job at a horse farm to earn money to buy it. His friend, Doug, rescues his pet blue jay as an egg from a bull snake. For Bill, fun with his kid is shadowed by the sinister neighbor who threatens to butcher Bill’s kid. The excitement in this story hinges on animal behavior. Discover how a trained blue jay can save the lives of both a kid and a boy from the deranged
neighbor.
This is a story modern children need. Tech Tonic, a publication of the Alliance for Childhood, reports that the average American can recognize over a thousand brand names but is unable to identify ten indigenous plants or animals.
