What is Alone On My Rock about?

Goat loves the peace and quiet of living alone on his rock, surrounded by sunshine, sea and wide blue skies. Surely he has everything he needs to be happy? As Goat tries to improve his perfect life, his plans become increasingly silly and surprising. Told in lively rhyme, this warm and funny picture book follows Goat on a playful journey towards discovering that friendship, companionship and love may be more valuable than solitude after all.
