"The two baby goats scampered across the rocky wall, their tiny feet clinging to the rough stone surface." That's the beginning of my book WILD GOAT, now available as a digital book in the StarWalk Kids collection and at Amazon. Visit Seymour Simon's Science Blog for more about the book and the opportunity to do a short writing activity. Seymour posts a new activity each week on Wednesday.

Review from SLJ of the 1990 print edition of WILD GOAT: A beautiful, comprehensive text describes wild goats worldwide: history,
life cycle, how they differ from other animals, and conservation
efforts. The photos are touching, capturing the character and
magnificence of these animals; the story is further personalized by
focusing on two young Nubian ibex goats at the Los Angeles Zoo. ... The text is clearly written with exquisite photographs [by Richard Hewett.]
