(3) K-3 Illustrated by John Sandford. Argyle the sheep is happy being just like the rest of the flock until eating flowers turns his wool rainbow-colored and brings him unwanted recognition. Originally published in 1987, this imaginative take on the origin of argyle socks delivers its message about the price of fame with appealing low-key humor. Green Scottish hills dominate the vibrant paintings.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
