Summary: 4 Stars
Hi, I just discovered this book for my kids, .... It is a serene, relaxing book, just the thing to read aloud on a blustery winter evening.The language is evocative, the characters warm and real. Read it- you won't regret it!
....
Book Review: Sticky sweet!
Summary: 2 Stars
Ultra-sentimental tale of farm life. The author swings between complete unreality (the sheep Biddy is given very unsheeplike qualities, maybe she should have been named "Lassie"?) and passages of very well-written & realistic observation (the lambs-at-play passages are excellent & spot-on.)If you don't know anything about farm animals you may enjoy this story; if you are a farmer(particularily a sheep farmer) you will say "Hold on a minute!" numerous times.
The illustrations are lovely; a redeeming feature.
To recap: rather cloyingly sweet & a tear-jerker to boot. Don't quote any of the sheep or wolf "facts", this is definitely a fictional tale.
