Kiki and the Goat Who Said “Please” to Nobody

A Funny Story About Good Manners

Meet General Baa-Baa, the proudest goat in the village, with a tiny red scarf and a very BIG opinion of himself. He demands bananas, orders mangoes by the dozen, and has absolutely no idea what “please” means. He even loses his manners entirely. (He thinks they were too heavy to carry.)

Luckily, Kiki and kind Grandma Ama are on hand to help. With plenty of giggles, mix-ups, and one very confusing window, General Baa-Baa learns that good manners cost nothing and that “please,” “thank you,” and “sorry” can make someone’s whole day brighter.

Filled with bright, colourful illustrations and playful, read-aloud humour set in a cheerful African village, this story gently teaches young readers kindness, honesty, and teamwork. It ends with a “Time to Ponder” question to spark conversation at home or in the classroom.

Perfect for: ages 3-8, bedtime reading, classrooms, and anyone who enjoys a good laugh with a lesson.

Themes: good manners, saying sorry, kindness, teamwork
