(3) K-3 Illustrated by Angela Kehlenbeck. A poor family in a snowy land lacks a main dish for Christmas dinner. But when the father finds a small white goat, they decide against eating it. At springtime shedding, Mother makes warm mittens whose profits allow her to buy a young ram and start a successful business in mohair goods. Understated prose and soft, textured illustrations endorse the family's wise decision.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
