Let me tell you the tale of Alfonzo the goat, who was terribly proud of his lovely new coat.

Alfonzo was happy; he pranced and he skipped. Then he heard a sad noise, croaking out of a ditch.

When Alfonzo the goat discovers a host of creatures who need help, he doesn't hesitate.

Using his precious, much-loved coat, he finds ways to solve their problems - fashioning a boat for frogs out of a cuff, for instance. But soon he's down to the last thread and it's started to snow... What will he do?

A really fun, rhyming story about a very generous goat, celebrating friendship and kindness, with extremely cute illustrations by Christine Pym.

Tom Percival

Tom Percival writes and illustrates all sorts of children's books. He has produced cover illustrations for the Skulduggery Pleasant series, written and illustrated the Little Legends, the Dream Defenders series, as well as twelve picture books.

His Big Bright Feelings picture book series includes the Kate Greenaway-nominated Ruby's Worry, as well as Perfectly Norman and Ravi's Roar, and has been translated into twenty one languages. The Invisible is a powerful picture book exploring poverty and those who are overlooked in our society. In 2020 he created the animation Goodbye Rainclouds, for BBC Children in Need to celebrate unsung heroes and launch their campaign. He lives in Gloucestershire with his partner and their two children.

Tom has been drawing since he's been able to hold a pencil, and making up stories for as long as he can remember, in fact, probably longer, especially as his memory is not what it once was. Basically, he's been making things up his whole life and he's not about to stop any time soon.

Christine was born a little before midnight on New Year's Eve in 1984. She has always loved books and as a child could be found trying her best to draw just like Beatrix Potter.
