Reviews

[Elaine - Splashes Into Books · Rating 4 out of 5]

A delightful, beautifully illustrated story about what happens when Emma's Dad brings in a lamb which has accidentally been separated from its mum. Emma and the lamb have an adventure and you'll need to read it yourself to find out what happens!

This book gives an insight into farm life, in a realistic manner. The illustrations are fantastically detailed and complement the text beautifully. This is one of those books that young children will love having read to them and, when they are older and able to do so, they will enjoy reading independently.

Teachers will find this book useful when their class are doing work relating to farming, looking after other animals or acknowledging that sometimes it is necessary to acknowledge that nature knows best!

A lovely little story with heart-warming illustrations. Toddlers will love the little day in a life with Emma and the lamb she looks after for the day.

This book is one I had a child growing up so holds many fond memories. A beautiful story about what happens when Emma's Dad brings in a lamb which has accidentally been separated from its mum. This book gives an insight into farm life, in a realistic manner. The illustrations are intricate with a lot of detail. This book will support work on farming, looking after other animals and would be suitable around lambing season.
