The Goggle-Eyed Goats by Christopher Corr
Old Al Haji Amadu had three wives, seven children - and five extremely naughty goggle-eyed goats that munched and gobbled and chewed whatever they could find. One day, enough was enough, they had to go! But getting rid of these troublesome goats proved to be harder than Al Haji could ever have imagined...

Stephen Davies lives amongst Fulani herders in West Africa with his wife, baby daughter, a horse, two kittens and five hens - but happily no goggle-eyed goats. Have a look at his website: www.voiceinthedesert.org.uk In 2006, he won the Glen Dimplex New Writers Children's Book Award for Sophie and the Albino Camel, and he's since gone on to write three fantastic teen fiction novels, the third of which, Outlaw, is published this year by Andersen Press. The Goggle-Eyed Goats is his first picture book. Christopher Corr was born in London and studied at The Royal College of Art. His round the world travels provide much inspiration for his work. Commissions range from bookjackets, posters, the World Aids Day 1996 campaign, artist for Qantas, artist for Windstar Cruises, and now beautiful, vibrant children's picture books.
