About this book
Goat and Mole want to play a game together. Goat suggests lots of funny games, like Whack a Moley or Stack a Moley, but Mole isn't keen. Equally, Goat doesn't want to have a sore bottom in Pin the Note-y on the Goat-y! Can the friends find a game they'll both enjoy?
This story about the art of compromise is full of puns and silly rhymes. There are many brilliant pictures, including a Gladiators-style game, which help the child reader enjoy the wordplay. This is imaginative and silly, with the important theme of making sure that your friend feels happy to play the game you want to play.
