The Men Who Stare at Goats

59 reviews
Jon Ronson

Simon & Schuster, 2006

Disturbing read
Mr Ronson's book is an eye opening, disturbing, and captivating read. Once you get started and immersed into the book it is hard to put down. The book ventures down some rather dark and disquieting paths. He illustrates how thin the line between good and bad is. In the same vein, right and wrong seems to be irrelevant to many of the subjects covered in the book. The scary part is that someday ...

The Judas Goat

Robert B. Parker

Dell, 1992

One of the best Spensers - not just because of Hawk
I LOVE Robert B. Parker - with my favorite being the Spenser series. His witty dialogue, the action, the humor, Susan and the other babes, Pearl the wonder dog - but before all that, looooong before comes Hawk. One man, one gun, a few words and a car. That's all there is to Spense's best friend. But whenever he turns up the action gets to be non stop with as an added bonus some of the funniest ...

Gregory The Terrible Eater (Reading Rainbow)

Mitchell Sharmat

Scholastic Paperbacks, 1989

Quite funny to very young kids
Gregory, a young goat, likes junk food - all the stuff his parents don't want him to eat. They try everything, taking him to the doctor and even letting him stuff himself with junk food and getting a belly-ache from it. How can they get Gregory to stop eating carrots and eggs and salad and start eating proper, healthy food - like shirts and shoes and tires?? Kids will laugh at the ...

Atheneum, 2001

Touching story
This book is recommended for ages 4-8, but we checked it out of the library for my three-year-old and it's clear we will have to buy it. She wants to read it every day, and we have promised her that we will buy a goat for a girl in Africa this Christmas. The illustrations are quite beautiful, and the story is so sweet that I often find myself tearing up on the last page, even though I've read ...

Carol Ekarius

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2004

A fantastic, absolutely FANTASTIC book!
I bought Carol's book about two years ago; now it's battered and ragged because it's been hauled around the farm so much, propped up on things as we use its designs to make new stuff. This is one of my all-time favorites. If you live on a small farm and you're a do-it-yourselfer, you NEED this book!

Goats: Small-scale Herding for Pleasure And Profit (Hobby Farms Series)

7 reviews
Sue Weaver

BowTie Press, 2006

Small-Scale Herding for Pleasure And Profit
Of all the books I have purchased on goat farming, this one is the best by far! Sue Weaver has all the information packed into this small book in a very organized, easy to find manner. By following Sue's methods of caring for goats, we got a very good report from the vet yesterday after examining our 12 Boer goats. This book is a must have for the inexperienced goat farmer!

I loved this book!
I read it cover to cover. We will be starting our little farm in 2009, so I have been collecting pertinent reference material. It REALLY spurred my enthusiasm for raising our own food. Now on to "Basic Butchering of Livestock & Game"...

The Goat Handbook (Pet Handbooks)

22 reviews
Ulrich Jaudas, DVM, Seyedmehdi Mobini

Barron's Educational Series, 2006

An owner's care book and will appeal to any goat owner who needs a basic reference at hand
Any who would own a goat must have THE GOAT HANDBOOK as a home reference: written by two DVMs, THE GOAT HANDBOOK covers everything from the initial purchase and housing to health and behavior, including care of pastures and meadows so goats stay healthy. Color photos peppered throughout add interest, but THE GOAT HANDBOOK is primarily an owner's care book and will appeal to any goat owner who ...

The Three Billy Goats Gruff

Paul Galdone

Clarion Books, 1981

The illustrations are priceless!
A delightful retelling of the old story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. This particular book stands out from all the others because of the illustrations, which are priceless! E.g., for the trip across the bridge, the bigger goats dress up the littlest one in a diaper; the biggest goat suits up in a black leather motorcycle jacket and dark glasses! The book is as much fun for grownups as it ...

Storey Publishing, LLC, 1993

Good basic information
I enjoyed this book very much even though I am not a kid. I am a new goat owner and this book makes all the information very plain. It was a very good first read. It is not very in depth and I am reading other books to add to my knowledge, but it is a very good starting place.

One of my boys' favorites!
Cute book with pictures that keep their attention. My boys walk around all the time saying "who is going over my bridge" in their gruff little troll voice! "Don't eat me... I too little," they say. I am so glad I added this book to our collection.

The Year of the Goat: 40,000 Miles and the Quest for the Perfect Cheese

9 reviews
Margaret Hathaway, Karl Schatz

The Lyons Press, 2007

A hilarious, insightful survey
The authors perceived something missing from their city lives and began to dream of living closer to the land. Llama farmers and gardeners have routinely followed this path: what makes this different is their determination to raise goats - even though they knew little about either goats or farming. A hilarious, insightful survey of not only goat farming but producing the perfect goat cheese makes ...

Above and Beyond the Ordinary
I was expecting an ordinary read.....but found it to be the best small book on goats that I have ever encountered. A beginner could take this book and start their goat project. She covers everything that one needs to know .....including how to understand those under your care. Totally impressed! I can give them to my customers to ensure they are prepared to take care of their newly purchased ...

Raising Milk Goats Successfully

Gail Luttmann

Williamson Publishing Company, 1986

An excellent book that I had to own.........
We have been around goats for decades, but have only recently in the past year gone the next step and begun to own Nubian goats for milk, cheese and brush removal purposes. And this is a great book if you are just getting started because it covered everything one needs to know before and after getting a goat or goats. From housing, dairy goat rations, nutritional needs, goat management, choosing ...

Mario Vargas Llosa, Edith Grossman

Picador, 2002

understated report on a true tyrany
This is a magnificent portrayal of one of the most heinous dictatorships ever to arise in the new world. This is not fiction,on the contrary it is a modification of the truth so as not to completly horrify the readers. My grandfather,my father ,two uncles and one aunt were assasinated in the most violent way by the Trujillo regime. Please excuse my outburst. The writing is very good as ...

A Classic Children's Book
When I was younger I would read this book every night before going to bed. I now have a three-year-old sister that I thought would appreciate the story as much as I did. She loved it, this book is a classic through and through.

Goat Care book very helpful
This book is awesome. I just started out with dairy goats and I find this book very helpful, especially since so many problems can be avoided or solved naturally. I highly recommend this book to anyone raising goats.
