Moses describes how Mary Elizabeth Sawyer nursed a sickly newborn lamb to health, making it a beloved pet--and the star of the nursery rhyme. Working in the folk-art style of his great-grandmother (Grandma Moses), this book's author-illustrator paints cozy, homespun farm scenes, including spot art, full-page drawings, and double-page spreads.
