Parsnip

Parsnip

by Sue Porter

Simple lift-the-flaps on every page add an extra dimension to this charming, warmhearted adventure story. This first endearing Parsnip the lamb adventure tells the sweet and simple story of how she got her name. One cold and snowy night, a mother sheep asks the farmer to take her chilly newborn lamb into the warm farmhouse. The kind farmer bundles her inside and into a cozy parsnip box in the kitchen. With some warm milk, and a wooly cardigan, young Parsnip soon revives and makes friends with Champy the sheepdog puppy, Tadpole the piglet, and Blanket the foal. But Parsnip is looking for someone special. And, when she finds her, she has something special to "Mama, I love you."
