This was a cute book about Navajo weaving from the perspective of a goat. My niece picked this up and loved it!

Oh, was this not the cutest book?! Definitely loving how they mention the process of making a blanket and I love how it's in the perspective of the goat. Very cute story!

This book follows the Navajo rug-making process through the eyes of Geraldine the goat. It starts with her shearing, and with detail describes every step in the process. By the end of the book Geraldine has grown back all of her coat. Very informative and adorably illustrated.

I liked how detailed (yet engaging for young readers) the book was about the processes involved in Navaho rug making.

No two Navajo rugs are the same. This makes sense because there is no other goat like Geraldine. This story follows Glenmae as she shears the mohair from Geraldine, cleans it, spins it, dyes it and weaves it.
For a commemorative-style book, it's really very fun to read. Geraldine is an amusing narrator, and there are some unexpected humorous twists that make this a fun read-aloud for elementary students. It's an old book by now, and the illustrations are noticeably dated, but the text is compelling enough to keep it relevant. It's a clever resource for teachers, particularly in art and social studies.

A goat narrates how a Navajo weaver makes a rug from her wool. Very cute, cheeky goat, charming illustrations and informative about weaving.
