How can Leopold, bookshop owner and goat, find the perfect book for a fellow goat – one the visitor will enjoy reading, not munching?

A lovely balance of coziness and humor. This book could turn anyone into a reader!”School Library Journal (Starred Review)
“Amusing in a vaguely Wes Anderson style.”Kirkus Reviews
“An endearing ode to shared reading [and] a cozy bedtime escape on a cold winter night.”Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

Leopold is a goat and the owner of a popular bookshop. He has a talent for matching his customers with the perfect book, until the day another goat arrives in his shop and to Leopold's horror, starts eating every book he is offered! Can Leopold find just the right one to tempt this reluctant reader? A celebration of that first special book that turns a child into a reader, this funny, charming title will appeal to book lovers present and future.
