I first bought this book several years ago for an 8-year-old friend who was getting her first goat. I think I have borrowed it back half a dozen times, and regularly recommended it to adults as well as "kids". Although geared toward children, it does NOT talk down to children. It tells the reader (of any age) everything the novice goat owner needs to know without all the extra detail that just gets in the way when you are looking for the basics.

Although this book is meant for children, it is the best of the many books I have bought about goats.

As a "newbie" to goats, I have bought several books to try and expand my knowledge and ensure that I am caring for them correctly, and this was the very best.

I would recommend to all new or prospective goat owners, that this be the first book you purchase, you won't be sorry.

i recently gave my boyfriend a fainting goat, to join his aging wether which came with his rural property. he is from chicago, and knew nothing about the care, feeding, or otherwise necessary knowledge regarding goats. he has raved about this book, and is reading it cover to cover, sharing enthusiastically about his newly aquired knowledge. i also read it before giving it to him, and agree that although this book appears to be geared toward the younger owner, it is invaluable to anyone starting out as a goat owner, as well as a reference book for those needing reminders.

I purchased this book for my daughter, This book is easy to read and understand. I myself read it and found it very informative. Every question we need answered is in this book. Great reference.

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.

"Your Goats" is an excellent book with imformative pictures, graphs, and forms to fill with your goat(s) information. Although it is meant to be for children, I thing it is good for all ages.

I'm going to be getting a dairy goat soon, and this book was very helpful. It tells you all you need to know about different kinds of goats,feeding,housing,health,and so much more. I would recommend it to anyone.

I really liked this book. I am not a kid but I have no doubt that a kid would have been able to understand it (no pun intended) I wish there was more information on Pygmie Goats

I live on a farm and have almost every one of Gail Damerow's books. They are great for beginners, as I was, and for anyone simply looking for information on farm animals. This book in particular helped me with my goats.
