Wonderlit Review
This chapter book introduces Poppy, who is tasked with organizing the goat races at her farm's Pumpkin Festival. Her main challenge is Vincent Van Goat, who has absolutely no interest in racing. The story follows Poppy's persistent and empathetic efforts to understand Vincent's reluctance and find an alternative activity where he can still participate and shine. It's a gentle narrative about problem-solving, respecting individual preferences, and finding creative solutions. Ideal for early elementary readers, it offers a heartwarming look at farm life and the bond between a child and an animal.
