Marja Baeten is a jack-of-many-trades. She started her career at Malmberg Publishing as an editor of the educative magazines Okki and Taptoe. As a freelance copywriter she worked for, among other things, the popular Dutch TV programs Sesame Street and Klokhuis; she wrote short stories that later became picture books, and she wrote various teaching methods for primary education. From 2000 Marja became an editor of the children’s magazines PIPPO and POMPOEN, and in 2005 she started developing a toddler magazine for the World Wildlife Fund called PipaPanda. The content of this magazine later became the source of inspiration for a series of compilations about wild animals. Annelies Vandenbosch likes to make illustrations with a positive and humorous note so that readers can escape to another world for a short while. Where everyone can feel good and where you feel happy. So that the reader can spread this cheerfulness in his environment. When she is not drawing you can find her in an uncomfortable yoga pose, during a relaxing walk in her cozy village, enjoying a nice carbohydrate meal (spaghetti bolo for the win), or making nice memories with family and friends."The images are bright and eye-catching and there are endless opportunities for interaction between the reader and the child. This would make a great book to begin a transition to independent reading as well since kids will be able to repeat the activities on their own after several repetitions with a reader.
Animal and color identification are covered, as well as comprehension/"what happened" questions and imaginative/"what if?" prompts. There are also multi-sensory exercises (tracing a path with a finger, etc.) that could be useful to kids with divergent language processing methods.
Aside from being a great read-with-me book, this would be a great addition to a classroom bookshelf or a reading specialist's collection. " - BookWorks
"Using photo icons interspersed throughout each sentence, this book is designed like an app and is designed like a literacy game. It’s a fun interactive story. The photo icons will help emerging readers engage in the story independently or with help. They’ll have fun finding the goat in each scene while also learning vocabulary." - Farmville Public Library
"Little goat by Marja Baeten helps little ones read along with pictures tucked into the text. Throughout, we also have pages of puzzles and games to play with Annemiek Borsboom's bright, crisp illustrations. A wonderful busy book to add to our bag when going out." - Riverina Regional Library
