Bibliographic Information: Emberly, R. (1995). Three Cool Kids. New York, NY: Little, Brown Company.
Brief Annotation: Three kids (young goats) lives in a big, busy city. The lot they've lived in for as long as they can remember is quickly running out of grass to eat so they are in search of a new place. Having spotted a new place across the street, with plenty of green grass, they are a little weary to cross because of the big, bad rat in the sewer that guards the street. Big Cool, the oldest of the kids, convinces his siblings to cross and they come across the rat who threatens to eat them. Big Cool fearlessly defeats the rat and the kids live happily ever after in their new lot.
