Red Foal's Coat

A book in the series Language in Action designed to develop listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. The story is about a boy called Red Foal who is too hot in the sun wearing a coat made of buffalo skin so he put it over a rock. He met a goat who offered to get the coat when it threatened to rain. The rock was angry to lose the coat he had been given so Red Foal and the goat jumped into a hole.

The title was translated into Dutch and published in 1979 by Dijkstra, Zeist as De jas van Rood Veulen.
