Picture Book Review-Goat’s Boat Won’t Float

I received an ARC of this book from Kim A. Larson in exchange for an honest review.

This delightful picture book takes readers on a hilarious adventure with a fainting goat and his high-strung turkey friend. The premise is simple yet incredibly funny—a goat that faints at the slightest fright and a turkey who’s always in a panic.

The dynamic between the characters keeps the humor alive, with the turkey’s frantic energy contrasting perfectly with the goat’s unpredictable fainting spells. The playful illustrations capture each laugh-out-loud moment, and the storyline delivers a charming blend of slapstick comedy and friendship.

Young readers will giggle through every page as they root for this oddball duo to get their boat floating again. It’s a lighthearted tale that’s sure to become a bedtime favorite.

I’m a nature-loving adventurer and children’s book author/illustrator whose life has been an exhilarating journey. Originally hailing from Ottawa, Canada, I developed a deep fascination for wildlife while chasing after wild animals in the swamps. Although I initially aspired to become a veterinarian, my path took an unexpected turn when I relocated to Italy. In Italy, I pursued my passion for nature by earning a BS in Environmental Sciences and Territorial Management. This educational experience further ignited my love of writing about the natural world and its diverse wildlife. I’m an active member of several professional organizations, including SCBWI, 12x12PB Challenge, ICWA, and the Children’s Book Academy. Constantly seeking growth and connection within the industry, I engage with fellow writers and storytellers. Despite my affinity for all creatures, I humorously admit that my nine cats can be the most challenging animals to handle. When I’m not wrangling my feline friends, I spend my time writing, doodling, playing with clay, gardening, and exploring the enchanting Italian countryside with my husband. I also love preparing homemade pasta, showcasing my culinary skills.
