Sergeant Billy: The True Story of the Goat Who Went to War by Mireille Messier

5.0

This was a fascinating story. Leave it up to Canadians to adopt a pet goat for the war. (I mean this as an absolutely loving compliment) the fact that the soldiers took Sergeant Billy from a farm in Saskatchewan to the front lines of WWI is very interesting.

It was really great how we got to learn a bit about the war in a kid friendly sort of way. Travelling from Canada, to the front lines and back again.

I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who’s child is interested in history, or to introduce them to history.
