About This Book

A young, leaping goat grows restless on a rocky hillside and repeatedly tests his jumping skill, prompting a sequence of episodic adventures that include falls, injuries, daring rescues, encounters with other animals and people, rides in a wagon and on a boat, a voyage ashore, explorations of woods, and the search for a new home. Each chapter presents a self-contained incident that explores curiosity, courage, and the bonds formed between the goat and a small human family and animal companions, while blending gentle peril, humor, and moments of tenderness as the animal learns and adapts.
