Soup's Goat by Robert Newton Peck

Rob and his best friend Soup build a magnificent cart for the town's goat race and . . .create a wonderful disaster!
Soup's cousin, Sexton, visits for a few weeks.  Sexton brags he can curse for a full minute and does so after each of the boys pay him a penny.  He does it while talking like Donald Duck.  None of the swear words are printed but an entire chapter is devoted to this topic and repeated in various ways throughout the book.
Points to discuss/warnings: swearing
Grade equivalent: 5.7
