    About this audiobook

    From the international bestselling author of Bel Canto, Ann Patchett, comes a hilarious children’s audiobook about a scapegoat who escapes blame just in time, read by the author!

    The Farmer family has a big problem! Every day their goat escapes, and every day, Mr. Farmer brings him back. So when things start to go awry on the farm, it must be the goat’s fault.

    Who’s to blame when Mrs. Farmer’s petunias are trampled?

    Or when all the cupcakes for Archie’s party disappear?

    And when the whole bucket of paint is spilled?

    Of course, everyone blames the goat! But is it really his fault?
