Scapegoat: The Story of a Goat Named Oat and a Chewed-up Coat 
by Dean Hale

Summary: Each time something goes wrong in the Choat household Jimmy blames the pet goat, Patsy Petunia Oat, who tries to tell the truth about Jimmy's misdeeds, but neither Mr. nor Mrs. Choat can understand her language.

This is a humorous story. It may be helpful in addressing wrongly placing the blame on someone either at home or in the classroom.
