A cute if mediocre tale of a WWI mascot. The illustrations are charming although not clever and the text is unimpressive. There were parts of the story that cried out for more page-time but its as if the writer wasn't thinking about the target audience and what they would be engaged by.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher for review.

Thank you #netgalley for giving me a copy of #SergeantBilly to review. I always enjoy reading true stories that you wouldn't think are true. Sergeant Billy is a goat that went to war and helped his soldiers. War and animals are two things my students love so I know they will enjoy this book. I can't wait until September for this book.

2,5/5. I like the true story behind it and the «absurdity» of it, which children might find funny, but other then that this book wasn't that good.

What a wonderful true life story of Billy the goat. He was borrowed from a little girl, when to World War One, and just like promised, returned to the little girl years later. He was a mascot, a helping hand, and even sometimes a superhero. Stories like this need to be told. The author did an amazing job, and so did the illustrator. I love that they included real life pictures of Billy at the end. Three cheers for this war hero goat.
