Why Kids Love This Billy Goat
The billy goat stands at an angle and looks forward with a friendly smile. His horns curve backward with ridges, his ears stick out wide, and a long, scruffy beard hangs below his chin. Little jagged lines on his neck and chest show his shaggy fur, and his tail points cheekily up. Tufts of grass and a few pebbles sit at his feet – plenty of room to experiment with fur texture and shading.

Fun Facts About Billy Goats
A male goat is called a billy goat or buck, and a female is a nanny goat or doe. Billies can weigh up to about 100 kilograms (220 pounds) and are much bigger than females. And it’s not just billies that have a beard – female goats can grow one too. Goats are curious and picky: they don’t eat everything and check out unfamiliar things with their lips first. Their favorite snacks are leaves, twigs and herbs.
What to Do with Your Finished Billy Goat
Glue a few strands of real yarn under his chin as a beard for a touch-and-feel picture. Older kids can write an animal profile: name, age, favorite food and what makes him special.
