The Three Billy Goats Fluff

by Rachael Mortimer

Summary: When Mr. Troll threatens to eat the three billy goats Fluff for being too noisy while going over his bridge, Mother Goat comes up with a plan.

I love this book! In this fractured fairytale, the traditionally-portrayed bad character, the troll, is the focus. I liked the goat mother who is strong and diplomatic.

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.
