I liked it. But, I think it was a little bit long for the kid of age who would like this; their minds would wander. I thought that the ending was a bit, um, ordinary.

Gregory wants to eat yummy human food, and his parents tell him there's something wrong with him. They manage to get him to eat goat food (tires and clothing and boots) but then he starts to gorge on everything, so they feed him too much on purpose. Gregory gets sick and then opts to eat a balance of human food (fruits and veggies) and goat food (buttons and tin cans and such).
It's not a bad allegory for gradually easing children into eating healthy food, but I dunno about purposely feeding them too much junk.

This is a cute children’s picture book about Gregory who is a goat, and much to his parents dismay, he has a taste for human food like chicken, vegetables, and fruit. They would much prefer that he eat “proper” foods like tin cans, sweaters, and socks.

Got a picky eater on your hands? This book about a goat who prefers vegetables to tin cans will be sure to induce giggling among the pickiest of eaters.

This has always been one of my favorite children's books! I just love Gregory and his "terrible" eating habits. :) I loved the doctor's suggestion of compromise on the issue of food and doing things like slipping a shoelace in with his spaghetti. A wonderful book for kids of any age!

Another classic, from my childhood, that my little bug loves. The story of a young goat who is a picky eater and won't eat good goat food, like coats buttons and all, makes us laugh and grin every time.

Adorable goats in a book that is as old as I am, Gregory is a winner, even if he is a terrible eater.
