Customer Reviews

Great book

Explains everything in an encouraging manner. It may say "a kid's guide" but it is really for everyone who wants to get into raising goats. Very well written.

Good basic information

I enjoyed this book very much even though I am not a kid. I am a new goat owner and this book makes all the information very plain. It was a very good first read. It is not very in depth and I am reading other books to add to my knowledge, but it is a very good starting place.

new goat owner handbook

i recently gave my boyfriend a fainting goat, to join his aging wether which came with his rural property. he is from chicago, and knew nothing about the care, feeding, or otherwise necessary knowledge regarding goats. he has raved about this book, and is reading it cover to cover, sharing enthusiastically about his newly aquired knowledge. i also read it before giving it to him, and agree that although this book appears to be geared toward the younger owner, it is invaluable to anyone starting out as a goat owner, as well as a reference book for those needing reminders.

Your Goats: A Kid's Guide To Raising and Showing

I purchased this book for my daughter, This book is easy to read and understand. I myself read it and found it very informative. Every question we need answered is in this book. Great reference.

ANYBODY's guide to goats

I first bought this book several years ago for an 8-year-old friend who was getting her first goat. I think I have borrowed it back half a dozen times, and regularly recommended it to adults as well as "kids". Although geared toward children, it does NOT talk down to children. It tells the reader (of any age) everything the novice goat owner needs to know without all the extra detail that just gets in the way when you are looking for the basics.

The Best!

Although this book is meant for children, it is the best of the many books I have bought about goats.As a "newbie" to goats, I have bought several books to try and expand my knowledge and ensure that I am caring for them correctly, and this was the very best.I would recommend to all new or prospective goat owners, that this be the first book you purchase, you won't be sorry.
