One hungry goat. One great escape. A whole city full of things to chew!

Melvin Eaton has never met a fence, tire, laundry line, or fancy outfit he could not turn into a snack.

When a foggy night gives him the perfect chance to break out of the zoo, Melvin's appetite leads him on a hilarious adventure through the city. He chomps his way past obstacles, raids a backyard clothesline, and causes chaos in a department store-until a security guard, a team of zookeepers, and one irresistible tennis shoe bring his wild night to an end.

Brought to life by Kyra Adams's warm, hand-painted illustrations, Mischievous Melvin is a playful read-aloud for children who love silly animals, unexpected adventures, and stories packed with visual humor.

Perfect for bedtime, preschool and elementary story time, young animal lovers, and families who enjoy laugh-out-loud picture books.
