Shizuka the Goat Series
A Terribly Terrible Day for Gentle the Goat
by Seizo Tashima
Gentle the Goat is busy eating grass to make milk for her newborn kids. She’s concentrating so she doesn’t notice the grasshopper and accidentally bites its leg. This sets off a chain of increasingly farcical events that make it a terribly terrible day for Gentle. But it’s all alright in the end. Tashima’s original, award-winning illustrations make this a real stand-out.
