Billy Whiskers' Travels

Frances Trego Montgomery

Billy Whiskers is a little goat with an enormous problem: he cannot stop getting into trouble. When boredom strikes the family farm, this restless goat decides the open road looks far more exciting than his usual meadow. But adventure, it turns out, is a mixed blessing. From startled farmers to runaway circus trains, from terrifying tigers to actual dragons, Billy discovers that the world is far larger and stranger than he ever imagined, and far more dangerous when you're a goat with a tendency to headbutt everything in sight. Filled with near-misses, narrow escapes, and one very determined little goat's struggle to find his way back home, this early 20th-century classic captures the pure, anarchic joy of a story where the protagonist simply cannot help making everything more interesting. Perfect for readers who love animals, mischief, and the particular satisfaction of watching a stubborn creature learn, eventually, that home isn't such a bad place after all.
