If this book were reviewed only by kids, it would always receive 5 stars. As a kid, I adored this book. Kids are amazed by the backwards aspect of this book. The main character is a goat that, to its parents' dismay, eats human foods instead of the usual garbage that goats eat. The fact that the goat's parents push him to eat garbage--exactly what we try to get our human children NOT to eat--seems to make kids laugh hysterically. Kids are very amused by how different what's normal for a goat is from what's normal for a human. Some parents erroneously think this book's purpose is just about teaching kids to eat healthy foods. It is so much more than that. It is about exploring different perspectives.

One of our all time favorites. It teaches good eating habits through the eyes of a goat & his family.

I think this is a great book, I loved it as a child and now my children love it too! Gregory is a goat who doesn't want to eat garbage like the other goats he wants to eat healthy human food! His parents talk him into trying "something new" and he discovers he DOES like it (the garbage)! It's good in explaining to kids to try something new and not dislike something just because of how it looks or sounds.

First of all, I'm a little biased. My name is Gregory, so as a child, I naturally loved anything that had the same name as me. This book made me laugh and now, probably 10-15 years later, I randomly thought of this book at work and thought "hey' I'll check Amazon!". (Something which didn't exist when I read this book)
I don't know if this book will teach anybody anything, but I do know that I read it growing up and I turned out pretty good. The eating of violins and tires is funny to the childish mind. Heck I still find it funny. Heh heh.
If you have children (and especially if their names are Greg) then buy this book.
If you don't have children (and your name is Greg) then you may still want to consider buying this book.

I did not find this book very funny or amusing. There's nothing wrong with enjoying healthy food -- whether you're a goat or a child.
