Ginny Goblin loves goats and would love to have one for a pet, but Ginny Goblin is not allowed to have goats in the house. This means there’s a need to find a different pet option for Ginny. Ginny’s not allowed to take a submarine to the bottom of the ocean and put a leash on the kraken. She’s not allowed to bait a basilisk trap with a cupcake, or take a rocket into outer space to capture an acid-spitting space alien, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t try. Who can suggest a good pet for Ginny Goblin—one that isn’t a monster? What’s that you say? A baby goat? Perfect! … Wait. What? A comical picture book pairs an entertainingly straight-faced narrative inviting readers in on the joke with droll gouache and pen-and-ink illustrations depicting Ginny Goblin’s many pet-hunting exploits. The adorable baby goat is a bonus. (Ages 3–7)
