Ruth Brown is kind of like the Lois Duncan for children. After reading A Dark, dark tale, I fell in love with her, and hoped I'd find some more "dark" stories in the Ruth Brown collection. While this isn't dark in any way, it IS, however, a wonderful story with some unusual and completely unique aspects to it. Ruth Brown once again has a flavor all her own with magical illustrations that just pull you into their beauty. The story is adorable, the illustrations are so detailed! My 3 yr old twins and 5 yr old both love Ruth Brown. Just an overall fun book that's a great addition to any children's collection. Highly recommend this author!

I like this because she looks really sad in the picture. And I like saying baaaa, baaa when she cries.
