There is a small, grey goat with a small, grey bell around his neck who has never had to care for anyone but himself, and he does as he pleases. He is grumpy, greedy, and dirty. Through all changes of weather he keeps his hill to himself and continues to nudge away a caring child who comes to the hill only to play and enjoy nature. Will the small, grey goat remain grumpy and greedy or will something happen that will teach him to finally care about someone other than himself? In this tale, compassion overcomes greed. The charming illustrations are whimsical, yet timeless. This tale is sure to touch the heart of every child (and their grown-ups) in a simple and beautiful way.

Tired of her usual diet of herbs and grass, Goat decides to try something new, with humorous results.

"I am going to cut that grass-try to cut it, I mean-before I'm an hour older," said Roberta Grey, drawing on an old pair of her father's dog-skin gloves with a do-or-die-in-the-attempt air that was at once inspiring and convincing. "This whole place looks like an illustrated edition of 'How Plants Grow'-Grey. We've got to cut the grass or put up a sign: To Find the House Walk Northward Through the Prairie. Signed, Sylvester Grey. Will you help, Wythie and Prue?" Oswyth, the eldest daughter, a year the senior of sixteen-year-old Roberta, looked up with her pleasant smile. "Help walk northward through the prairie, help find the house, or help cut the grass, Rob?" she asked. "Help cut the grass, and the rest won't be necessary," laughed Rob. "Come on! I've borrowed Aunt Azraella's lawn-mower, though I truly believe I might as well have borrowed the cheese-scoop-that grass is too old and tough to bow down to a mere lawn-mower." Prue, being but fourteen, jumped up with alacrity to accept Rob's invitation, but Oswyth laid down her sewing and arose with a reluctant sigh-she was not fond of violent exercise, and the afternoon sun was still warm.

Transcending Boundaries: Writing for a Dual Audience of Children and Adults is a collection of essays on twentieth-century authors who cross the borders between adult and children's literature and appeal to both audiences. This collection of fourteen essays by scholars from eight countries constitutes the first book devoted to the art of crosswriting the child and adult in twentieth-century international literature. Sandra Beckett explores the multifaceted nature of crossover literature and the diverse ways in which writers cross the borders to address a dual readership of children and adults. It considers classics such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Pinocchio, with particular emphasis on post-World War II literature. The essays in Transcending Boundaries clearly suggest that crossover literature is a major, widespread trend that appears to be sharply on the rise.
