Publisher's Synopsis
Bleat is the book for people who think that of all the animals, goats are the GOAT - the greatest of all time!
There is something about animals that inspires the child within us all. Something that gets grown adults to lean against their car window and bleat like a goat, moo like a cow, or coo with delight at a field of adorable animals.
Goats have been valued for over 10,000 years and are the first suspected domesticated animal. Not to mention goat milk is the number-one consumed milk in the world. Speaking of things milk goes with, did you know there's a legend that says goats discovered coffee? Legend has it that the goats of an Ethiopian goat herder munched on the berries of a certain unfamiliar tree. That night they were energetic and refused to sleep. Yet one more reason to bow down to goats!
Whether it's the way their tiny tails wag, the stark frankness of their piercing gaze, or their manic attempts to get past any fence put in their way, goats have inspired obsession and adoration through the ages.
This book is a celebration of our love of the charismatic goat. With quotes from Sandra Bullock, Aristotle, Cicero, and Jason Momoa, Bleat is designed to remind us why we can't seem to get enough of those cute faces. Goat lovers everywhere, this book is for you. Just be sure not to leave this book anywhere near your goat unattended … they might eat it.
