The Surprise

(3) K-3 A sheep creates a lovely surprise for a giraffe in this witty wordless book. Sheep begins by weighing, measuring, and dying her own wool. Then she shears herself and takes the wool to be spun into yarn, which she knits into a long-necked sweater. Spacious illustrations in vibrant colors follow Sheep every step of the way.
