Summary

Published Reviews

Booklist Review: "Apparently in the goat world, typical Valentine's Day offerings are not chocolates and fragrant flower arrangements in lovely vases, but rather rotten eggs (the older the better) and weeds in cans (the rustier the better). Mr. Goat is on the search for a valentine for his first love and picks items he thinks will be just right: two-year-old eggs and a bouquet of crabgrass, pigweed, and ragweed. As he proceeds along the way, he adds to his appeal with a squirt of Eau de Skunk from Miss Skunk and stops to compose a song. His first love turns out to be his mother, and, of course, she is delighted with the gifts. The brief text and the large, bright, and uncluttered illustrations make this a natural choice for a Valentine's Day read-aloud. While the goats are entranced by the rotten eggs, the audience's response to the sight of green eggs oozing a black liquid, complete with wavy stink lines, will probably be loud ewws which makes this all the more fun!--Enos, Randall Copyright 2016 Booklist"

Publisher's Weekly Review: "For readers who think Valentine's Day is too sappy, Bunting and Zimmer have an ideal antidote. That's because Mr. Goat's idea of the perfect gifts for his "first love" include ragweed salad in a rusty can and two-year-old rotten eggs. "Guaranteed foul and disgusting," says the proud vendor. Zimmer playfully emphasizes the story's gross-out moments in his exaggerated, vibrantly colored illustrations, and Bunting keeps the target of Mr. Goat's affections secret until the final page. Suffice it to say that mothers will be happier to receive this book than, say, a box of "black and oozing" rotten eggs. Ages 5-7. Illustrator's agent: Lori Nowicki, Painted Words.
