The Gregarious Goat and a Grumpy Genie

What happens when a hungry goat meets a cranky genie? A whole lot of chewing, chuckling, and chaos!

Gordon is no ordinary goat. He’s gregarious, gluttonous, and just a little too curious for his own good-especially when he licks a mysterious blue bottle and unleashes a very grumpy genie named Gertrude. She’s been trapped for centuries, and now she’s ready to grant three wishes. The problem? Gordon doesn’t want fame, fortune, or fancy furniture… he just wants to know if wishes are edible.

As Gertie tries to help Gordon find his heart’s desire (and avoid being eaten), mayhem ensues across Pastureland. Will Gordon waste all his wishes? Will Gertie finally get her freedom? Or will these two unlikely friends discover that the best things in life can’t be wished for at all?

Perfect for kids (and grown-ups) who love laugh-out-loud tales, magical misadventures, and one very mischievous goat with a big heart-and an even bigger appetite!
