The Goat in the Rug
Book Review:
Summary: The book The Goat in the Rug is told by a goat named
Geraldine, who is best friends with a Navajo woman named Glenmae. Glenmae
makes beautiful Indian rugs. One day Glenmae is sharpening scissors
and Geraldine has no idea why. But he finds out very quickly, when Glenmae
clips Geraldine's wool and goes through all the steps necessary to create
an Indian rug: from hair clipping, to yarn spinning and dying, to finally
making the loom and weaving the pattern. Along with Geraldine, the reader
learns along not only about the care and pride with which a Navajo rug
is made but also about cooperation between friends.
Illustrations: The illustrations are very colorful and detailed. They
are humorous and show all the steps in creating a rug.
