Chester The Hungry, Happy, Dancing, Very Bad and Lovable Goat: What Is It About?
The story is based on an actual Chester, the goat, who lives his days in Blackshear Georgie with his other animal friends. Author Teresa has taken him as her muse for the fun children’s book, turning bits of reality into a humorous and enjoyable fictional take that children of all ages will enjoy. The book is the first of a series with Chester the Goat. Teresa Grant aims her collection to be filled with not only lovable and funny characters but also life lessons and skills for young children to learn and adopt.
Readers will learn about what it means to be kind, respectful, and self-disciplined while laughing at Chester’s antics and adventures alongside the other delightful animals that live with him.
The series’ first installment, Chester The Hungry, Happy, Dancing, Very Bad and Lovable Goat, follows Chester on his first road trip. Excited as he is, his experience doesn’t go the way he hopes it would be. Chester ends up being bullied by some bully goats, which is a lousy turnaround from his expectations. Fortunately, things start looking sunny when a kind stranger rescues him.
Kindness. Forgiveness. Hope and Humor. Readers will learn about these concepts and more as Chester gets into all kinds of trouble but remains the lovable and funny goat he is.
Aside from being an amusing book for children, the material is perfect for conveying values they should practice and adapt. Chester the Hungry, Happy, Dancing, Very Bad, and Lovable Goat will teach them the importance of perseverance, acceptance, and looking at the world a little more positively.
