In James Herriot's story Smudge, the little Lost Lamb, there is a lot of action. I found it easy to relate to the little lamb. He is such a cute character. I really cared about what happened to him. I do think the author needed to spend more time on Smudge and his relationship with his mother,sister and the little boy who owned him. I think this would be a great story for young children. The illustrations are nice and Smudge is such a cute little guy.

If you're a fan of the other illustrated James Herriot books, (Bonny's Big Day, Only One Woof, The Christmas Day Kitten, etc.) you'll be disappointed in this one. Rather than being another true tale from his days as a veterinarian, this is just a mediocre, fabricated story about a lost lamb which really doesn't fit with the rest of the series.

I bought this at the library sale. It is so adorable that I'll be looking for more of his childrens' stories. A very sweet tale; my 3 and 4 year old boys loved it! And very nicely illustrated.

I grew up with the James Herriot children's books, and loved "Smudge" the best! I am studying to be an elementary school teacher, and currently writing a lesson based upon his books. Highly reccomended for children who love animals, and great as parent/child read-alouds!
