Rich-Thinking Stories (5 Books)
Written by Ali Asghar Seyed-Abadi, Illustrated by Alireza Goldouzian
Description
This funny illustrated short story for children relates how the famous Mother Goat, whose ringing-bell is tied around one of her feet, becomes terribly worried when she returns home and discovers there is no sign of her beloved little goats. She fears that the cruel wolf has again swollen them up, or maybe they have gone somewhere and are trapped.
The writer of this story wants the readers to think and guess for themselves. What has really happened to the three little goats? Whilst using modern characters and plot devices, he describes three different situations, combining them with comedy and humor. In one case, the worried, desperate Mother Goat discovers her goats watching Tom and Jerry cartoons. They are actually so fascinated by the cartoon that they do not even hear their mother’s wild calls. In another case, the dear Mother Goat goes to the local butcher and asks for her little and helpless goats; happily relieved to learn that Mr. Butcher has looked after the three small goats when they were wandering around. So, what do you guess?
How can you possibly sleep when there is so much to do?! Children will find themselves creating odd and funny new situations for the Mother Goat and her three absent-minded little ones. The amazing illustrations will encourage children to participate in this great adventure and find themselves too busy.
