Reviewed by Debra Williams

G.O.A.T. (short for Greatest of All Time) is reading a book when he comments LOL. Duck doesn’t understand, and Goat explains that he has made an LOL, otherwise known as Laughing Out Loud. Duck points out that Goat isn’t actually laughing, so Goat tries to explain what it’s about. Duck then comes up with several alliterations on the LOL theme to make Goat laugh. All efforts fall flat until Duck inadvertently creates an LOL moment when he is saying goodbye.

With bright illustrations, the alliterative text will be fun for young readers in the 5-7 age group.
