This picture book is a short and simple folktale about a child who finds a singing goat. The goat presents the child with bread and water, which the child trades for more things.

It is a cute tale but very simplistic, both in terms of illustrations and words. I am not sure that I would add it to my library as it does not stand out.

Such A sweet children’s book. Bright colors and fun. Illustrations will definitely catch children’s attention very simple sentences and a message that is easy to follow. The boy uses what he has to get what he wants. This is a good life lesson for children, never to complain about what they lack but to be grateful for what they have.

A story that is simply told. I think it's based on a Persian folktale, but it's updated for the modern world with lively illustrations.

This book teaches children about planning ahead and making wise and productive choices. The goat shares that advice early in the story. Human nature is to act impulsively and not think ahead so I think this is a great lesson for children and the adults who read it with them.

I was a little confused about the context of why he was running away to the mountains in the first place. While I really enjoyed the illustrations and feel they are appealing to children, I don’t care for the faceless faces. It’s a little creepy, especially for kids.

I like that it ends with him and his Dad having time together. Then they rest by taking a nap. Being productive means rest is necessary so I am glad that was part of the story.

I would recommend this to parents because I believe kids’ books should be fun, colourful, and educational. There should always be a lesson or something to inspire. I appreciate and respect that this book does that without any ideologies thrust upon the readers.

Cute book about being resourceful and achieving your dreams. Great pictures to go along with the story.

Very cute book! Wonderful and easy picture book for very young children and those who are just starting to read. Great context clues in order to figure out the words.

un libretto che mi ha colpito per la sua delicatezza nello raccontare il rapporto tra uomo e natura e come ogni cosa tra la natura e noisia veramente collegata in un circolo che bisogna apprezzare e prendersene cura.Voto 4

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for giving me access to this book.

The Mountain and The Goat was a very quick, easy but cute read for young children. The illustrations are wonderful and work really well with the story.
This picture book has a very important message about making decisions in life; if we make careful choices, it can lead us to very good outcomes.

The illustrations in this book were absolutely gorgeous. The story was just ok. It felt like it was missing something in the beginning and the end was lackluster as well

The Mountain and The Goat is a children's book about a young boy who consistently makes careful choices to plan for a better future. For example, giving the tailor scissors in exchange for a coat. I wasn't a big fan of the illustration style, I had a hard time connecting with it. I also found the book to be a bit too simplistic & not engaging. I just wasn't super invested in where the story was going. That being said, I do really like the cover and the color schemes throughout the book. This one was not a favorite for me, but give it a chance and see what you think!

Thanks to NetGalley, Siamak Taghaddos, and Poetti Publishing for the chance to read and review!

The Mountain and The Goat. I selected this book to read to my children because of our love of animals and our small farm we have at our home. Upon reading this book we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful artwork in these pages. the book was extremely visually pleasing, and my children loved looking at the pictures. The story itself was simple and great for a bedtime read. Overall, this was a very enjoyable book for bedtime.

Gathered at the Table by Glenn’s Nellist (Sept. 9) Using poems, it explains Jesus last supper and his time at the table. Such a profound, kid appropriate explanation of the communion.

Rosie’s Wild Ride by Paige Murray (Oct 7) Her completion doesn’t go quite as planned, but what if we keep going and ask “What if I can?” as we follow big dreams! I can’t wait to get this for my daughter. Loved the illustrations.

Night Magic by Leigh Ann Henson (Sept 23) This was SUCH a fun book of information. Why does it take so long for the eye to adjust to night? Lots of great information with this book and at a child’s level.

The Mountain and the Goat by Slamk Taghaddas (Sept 23) I loved the concept of teaching resourcefulness in this one. Loved the storyline.

Sea Dog Boats by Astrid Sheckels (Jan 14) To learn all about boats, let the dogs lead the way. All about the ABCs and nautical adventures this is a really cute story!

Twelve Days of Summer by Sherri Meret (July 1) “On the first day of summer…” The animals take you on a summer adventure as you sing along! My kids LOVED this adorable book.

Franklin’s Trees by AJ Skenkman (July 1) A story about young President Franklin. A history major myself, this was a really cute informative book.

Outdoor Skills for Kids by Buck Tilton (June 3) My son thought this book was the bees knees. He learned so much from it and kept talking about “when you approach an animal this is what to do..” He was so excited to share all he learned.

I loved the journey throughout the book with life-like decisions being made. Not only were there entertaining elements, but there were also teachable lessons. The writing was perfect for a younger reader and the illustrations were breathtaking and brilliant! I’m sure a child will absolutely love this story!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with access to read this book!

This is an enjoyable children’s book about resourcefulness and community. It has a good rhythm while being quite short, so an excellent option to read aloud. A great fable for children!

Thank you NetGalley and Poetti Publishing for this advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

A charming story for young readers with glorious illustrations and an important story about how our actions support and connect us to others. Recommended!

A story that shows the power of community and building relationships with others. We're all connected and need one another. It is a great example of "paying it forward". And what you give, will also make its way back to you.

There's also a lot of quick action so it can be exciting for children.

This book is fun to read and love the simple exchange from one person to the next that fulfilled each other's needs. So many different lessons could be built around this story.

A cute and simple story that's easy for little kids to follow. It has a simple art style that I also found nice to look at. The more basic art is easier for little eyes to focus on since the pages aren't too busy.
The picture book introduces kids to the idea of resourcefulness and kindness.
Overall my toddlers and I enjoyed this one. The only reason it's not quite a 5 star is because I'm just not sure it will stick with us or be a favorite.

Cute but a bit nonsensical. It's a children's book, I know. I just wish children's authors would take their audience a little bit more seriously.

The Mountain And The Goat
Siamak Taghaddos

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A lovely little story which shows how little things can grow into bigger things.

Here the goat gave the boy some water and bread - and the choices he made from having these items, gave him bigger and better things each time.

A good lesson about thinking carefully about what you have, making choices and planning for a better future.

The story was short and snappy so great to read to your little ones and nice and easy for early readers too.

The images were bright and bold and clear and I loved the extra zoomed in images that followed each part of the story.

A nice quick read that will become a favourite for the children.
