In Marshall The Daddy Goat, the exciting continuation of Diane Goold's beloved series, Marshall faces his biggest challenge yet: setting a good example for his new triplets, Doug, Hugh, and Harry. Being a positive role model isn't easy, especially when old "bully goat" habits occasionally threaten to resurface.
As the dynamics on the Noah's Ark Animal Rescue farm shift—with Maurice the monkey heading back to the circus with his friend Claude—a new source of mischief arrives. A bothersome little poltergeist named Ribert decides he wants to be the new bully on the block. Through the playful antics of the triplets and the farm's united front, Ribert gets a firm reality check: bullies are simply no longer welcome on this farmstead.
Designed for upper elementary readers, this story provides an easy-to-read but deeply relatable look at the ongoing effort it takes to be kind, respectful, and responsible. It offers parents and educators a fantastic narrative to help children understand that personal growth is a continuous journey, and that true leadership means stepping up to do the right thing for the people (or little goats) looking up to you.
