Book Description

March 15, 1998 3 and up
Simple lift-the-flaps on every page add an extra dimension to this charming, warmhearted adventure story.

This first endearing Parsnip the lamb adventure tells the sweet and simple story of how she got her name. One cold and snowy night, a mother sheep asks the farmer to take her chilly newborn lamb into the warm farmhouse. The kind farmer bundles her inside and into a cozy parsnip box in the kitchen. With some warm milk, and a wooly cardigan, young Parsnip soon revives and makes friends with Champy the sheepdog puppy, Tadpole the piglet, and Blanket the foal. But Parsnip is looking for someone special. And, when she finds her, she has something special to say: "Mama, I love you."


Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-K?The popular lift-the-flap gimmick isn't enough to save this failed effort. On a stormy winter night, Mama Sheep can't keep her baby warm in the barn. The farmer takes the lamb into the house and feeds her. After finding a warm place to sleep?a parsnip box?the lamb plays with the household pets. After finding her a sweater to keep her warm, the lamb's new friends help her to look for her mother. Pedestrian text and lackluster line-and-wash illustrations deflate the appealing idea of a vulnerable animal in need of care. Even the little lamb and kittens aren't particularly appealing, looking more scrawny and scruffy than adorable. A lift-the-flap flop.?Heide Piehler, Shorewood Public Library, WI

3.0 out of 5 stars Saved by flaps, April 5, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Parsnip (Hardcover)
My 20 month old received this book as a Christmas gift. She loves anything with the lift-a-flap feature, and Parsnip is no different. The story starts out well, with a flap on each page. We are introduced to the lamb and to several animals inside a farm house. However, the end of the story really trails off, with a rushed look at two other barn animals before Parsnip is reunited with her mother. Without the flaps, I doubt if the story would hold my daughter's interest for very long.
