Bloated Goat is a unique fantasy story suitable for ages 8 and up. It is a humorous, light-hearted adventure filled with crazy characters (like Cocky Doodle and Granny Hammy) who are thrown into wacky situations (like a skunk wedding and a mushroom feast), and it is similar in spirit to Shrek, Madagascar, and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
It is available on Kindle, Nook, and Smashwords for $.99 and can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. You can use these links:

Here's the book description:
When Granny Hammy finds Bloated Goat face down in her front yard's drainage ditch, her grandson Cocky Doodle thinks nothing of it. In fact, he says that’s just another normal day for his best friend. But when they discover that Bloated Goat has little black Xs for eyes and is even more bloated than normal, they realize it is much more serious.
Come join the humorous adventure filled with jewel thieves, a despondent wolf, an alligator gangster, a kingdom of hungry mushrooms, a shocking skunk wedding, and a mysteriously powerful chameleon known as Crazy Ned.
But don’t take my word for it. Read the following fake quotes for more convincing words:
"This is one the funniest books about bloated goats and talking animals I've ever read." - A random, imaginary kid
"If I was stuck on a deserted island with nothing but this book, I'd probably read it at least once." - An important kid, possibly your best friend or son or daughter
And if you prefer real quotes, here you go:
“I decided to take a chance on your book after reading your post. Heck, it's only ninety-nine cents, right? I called my nine year old daughter over for what I thought would be a short picture book. I'll be honest. I wasn't expecting much but I hoped she'd get a good chuckle out of it. I opened up the book and was surprised to find that it's a chapter book. Hmm! We dove in. We read through the first ten chapters and my daughter never stopped laughing. She loved it! (And I had to stop more than once to compose myself as well. I actually had tears in my eyes I was laughing so hard.) So far it's an easy and enjoyable read. The characters are hilarious and the situations they encounter are wholly unexpected. We can't wait to finish it tomorrow.” – M. Jacobs, a Kindle Discussions contributor
“LOL. I just finished it. It cracked me up! Definitely worth the dollar.” – Lexi, a Kindle Discussions contributor
