No More Biting For Billy Goat

Billy Goat has to learn not to bite if he wants friends.

Bernette Ford and Sam Williams, the creators of "No More Diapers for Ducky!," "No More Bottles for Bunny!," and the other "No More" books, are back with another sweet entry in their popular series. It's Billy Goat's first day at school, and he feels lost and lonely. Even though he really wants to join in the fun and games, he just doesn't know how. Billy Goat gets so frustrated that he even bites Piggy, Lambkin, and Bunny! But with a little gentle guidance from sympathetic Ducky, he learns that teeth are for biting food--not your friends.
