'WSJ' Tracks Down 'Pet Goat' Book From 'Fahrenheit 9/11'

'WSJ' Tracks Down 'Pet Goat' Book From 'Fahrenheit 9/11': "NEW YORK Suddenly, one of the best-known children's books in the U.S. is something called 'My Pet Goat.' As shown in Michael Moore's 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' it's the book read by President Bush to Florida school children on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, after he learned of the second hijacked plane hitting the World Trade Center.

According to Jeffrey A. Trachtenberg in this morning's Wall Street Journal, the story is actually called 'The Pet Goat.' It shows what happens after a girl is ordered by her parents to get rid of her pet goat, who has been munching everything in its path. The goat becomes a hero in the home, however, when a burglar invades and the goat butts him into submission."
