This story retells Sevook Oolik, a beloved Armenian children’s tale by Hovhannes Tumanyan. When the young goat is left alone while his mother is away, he must face a hungry wolf and rely on his own wit to stay safe.

The story builds tension through dialogue and clear cause-and-effect, keeping children engaged as the goat responds to danger with confidence rather than fear. The resolution unfolds naturally, making the story satisfying without explanation or instruction.

Through a familiar narrative structure and expressive language, this book introduces children to a classic Armenian story while encouraging attention, comprehension, and connection to cultural storytelling.
