VOTE FOR THE GOAT!
Written and Directed by Tim Fried-Fiori
Billy Goat learns all about democracy when he tries to convince every animal in the petting zoo to vote to keep it open. A great introduction for kids about the power of voting and how elections can come down to one single vote – YOURS!
Helps kids understand why voting matters and their importance to the civic life of their school, community, city, state and nation. Great for pre-K thru 5th.
