young Children Love Cumulative Tales And Will Not Be Disappointed By This Latest Offering. Set In America During The Eighteen Thirties, It Depicts The Process Of Sheep Raising And How Wool Is Turned Into A Finished Product Such As A Warm Blanket. With Only A Few Words On Each Page, The Story Moves Along With The Aid Of The Lively, Exquisite Artwork. Both Animals And Humans Seem Ready To Move Off The Pages And Become Real. The Hand Shearing, Carding, Spinning, Dyeing, And Weaving Are So Accurately Portrayed That Children Will Easily Grasp These Concepts That, Most Likely, Are Totally Unfamiliar To Them. The New Blanket Becomes A Warm And Cozy Wrapping For The Baby Of The Family. The Final Page More Fully Explains The Methods Seen In The Book. This Greatly Adds To Its Usefulness With Older Children. Add This Title To The First Purchase List. Reviewer: Sylvia Firth
