Feeding the Sheep is a simple book that takes readers on a
journey from feeding sheep to the end process of creating a wool sweater. What’s cool and amazing about this book is
that each page really does provide a real life step in the sheep farming, all
in about 20 simple words. I learned from
this book. I think toddlers will not
only learn from this book but sense the playfulness of the characters (through illustrations
and words), as well as the handicraft and pride in the handcrafting. I should point out that the book also takes
readers on a year long journey with a
mother and daughter, a dog and a cat, and a heard of sheep. I could see this book being used in a
classroom to introduce early ‘to market’ economics concepts, or as a great read
aloud with a different twist to farming or the seasons. It’s worth a read for sure.Saturday, March 10, 2012
