Goat Tails are a series of stories all about life on our family farm in Manitowaning. Join with us as we share the entertaining and crazy antics of all the critters that occupied that farm . . . especially the goats.
In our second book, Scruffy the kid arrives back from his BIG adventure. The lost had been found, but would he be welcomed, or was it Pen Prison for him again? Scruffy had been in trouble so many times in the past that he began to have doubts. Sure the Maker loved him . . . but did everyone else?
Imagine his surprise when he was greeted at the fence by a churning, hopping, squawking sea of excitement, all straining to get a look at him! Wow, he was a superstar!
It suddenly struck him: now he knew for sure what his purpose was. He was made to be super . . . the super, duper hopping hero of the barnyard!
SuperScruff, the fearless leader of the Scruffkids!
"Oh no," bleated Nellie Nanny, "here we go again!"
Truer words have never been spoken: Scruffy was at it again. Join the fun as SuperScruff learns how to be truly Super!

Excerpt from SuperScruff
Scruffy thought that he ought to practice his Super-Skills (he wasn’t really sure what they were, but he’d figure it out). Right now, his head was too puffed up by all the Super-Attention he was getting. Clearly, he was already “SuperScruff” to his adoring fans so he couldn’t let them down. Inside he had always known that he had SuperPowers… it was time to show off his Super-Stuff. He jumped up on top of the nearest bale of hay so everyone could see and hear him.
The youngsters cheered excitedly, Hobby snorted (in disgust), and Nellie just shook her head and bleated a warning to him. Scruffy quickly looked at his mom and felt slightly unsure that what he was doing was a good idea. That disturbing little voice began to speak again… but he ruthlessly shook his head to knock the thought out! He had more important things to think about right now.

My thoughts on SuperScruff
SuperScruff is book two of the Goat Tails series. I have not read book one, so wasn’t sure what to expect from this one.
First off, this appears to be a simple children’s picture book. It is not. There are a lot of words, a lot. This reads more like a chapter book, maybe it should be classified as a “pre-chapter” book. It is a nice transition between learn-to-read and actual true chapter books.
Goat Tails also has many religious references. If this is the intended audience, the book is perfect. It quotes some relevant scripture and makes references to the “Maker” and his plan for all creatures. The book would be an excellent addition to a Sunday School library. I don’t think a public school with the diverse backgrounds of the students would be the correct audience.
Now that all those thoughts are out of the way, this is a well-written tale with moral messages. Children should relate well to SuperScruff and his adventures, successes, and most importantly, his failures.
The illustrations are eye-catching and well-suited to the story.
I recommend SuperScruff to readers looking for a fun, adventurous story for Sunday School classes and home libraries.
I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
