ACHUKA Book of the Day 28 Jul 2025
“A joyful story about community, a headstrong grandmother and some hilarious, unruly goats. It’s a funny, rhythmic counting book!” Inclusive Books for Children
“Atinuke’s text rollicks while Hinds’ illustrations urge readers to slow down to take in every delicious detail. . . Great goatish fun.” Kirkus Reviews
“Rollicking, rhythmic prose.” Publishers Weekly
“A hilarious tale that cleverly introduces readers to numbers 1-100.” BookTrust
“I hugely admire the wit and flair and beauty of what Atinuke does” Katherine Rundell, author of Impossible Creatures
Count all 100 of Granny’s mischievous goats in the brand-new picture book from award-winning author Atinuke and exciting debut Caribbean artist Lauren Hinds.
Introduce children to numbers 1 to 100! Granny’s beloved goats follow her wherever she goes – to the tailor, to the salon, and on the bus. They are VERY cheeky, and even steal the aunties’ panties! In the yard at home and then through the bustling market the children help Granny to keep count of them all until… Oh wait! Oh no! Where did goat 100 go?
