Ms. Goshsquash Lola Coleman

What if all it took for a kid to learn to be good was a trip to the farm? Follow three best friends as they learn from their teacher and her odd pet yak why being kind is always the way to go, discover who they are, and turn into the great kids they want to become.




Have you been naughty?

Can't help being mean?

Perhaps you'd like to know what happens to kids who make a scene.

Well take a look inside this book; I'll show you what I mean,

for you'll never meet another other who's as real as she can be.




Her name was Ms. Goshsquash, and everyone knew

that if a child went bad, she'd know what to do!

At first, the people of Drost thought her to be mean.

Some said she was the meanest old woman they had ever seen.

Yet it was those same people who asked her one day

to come into town to live and to stay.




You see, Ms. Goshsquash had a way with children that nobody else had,

but only those who didn't listen to their parents, misbehaved at school, or were just plain bad.

She spoke in rhyme and song, but if you paid attention you'd soon know

that really all she wanted was for kids to be kind as they grow.
