Praise for The Goat and the Stoat and the Boat

Lynas’s cumulative narrative tells the raucous tale of a goat, a stoat, and their boat-size quarrel in this rigorously rhymed picture book. The unlikely crewmates’ path to camaraderie makes for a gaily reiterative readaloud that’s silly, and, eventually, sociable, too.—Publishers Weekly
