We ordered this book b/c its our favorite. It follows a little girl who doesn't want her mom to leave for work on Valentine's Day and then discovers that one of the newborn lambs needs her and grandmother to survive. Every time we read it, it's a treat.

My favorite part is when they take him inside because it shows the reader that they care for him so much!
I recommend this book for people who like animals!

A perfect book to read around Valentines Day - touches on issue of working moms, farm life, and family love. Beautifully illustrated.

This classic tale of love and empathy still makes me go, "Awww." everytime! The special connection between little ones and caregivers is delicately played out in words and watercolors. This book is a great read about non-romantic love at Valentines. Perfect for cuddle time, lap time, or anytime you need reminding how soft the heart is.

This masterful book with lovely watercolor drawings touches on themes of special interest and concern to very young children--separation from mommy, trying out an adult role, sharing and learning to nurture another. The writing style is appealing to the very young, as it is simple, yet still provides details of most interest to them (with great emphasis on the senses of smell and touch). The plot, too, is captivating. While it describes an unusual event, it describes it within the context of surroundings and relationships that will be familiar to children.

My 2 year old enjoys this book several times a day.

My 2.5 year old found this book herself on the library shelves at our local library. We've been reading it at least twice every day for the past 2 weeks now. It is very sweet and masterfully written. In a few words, the writer touches you to the point that the first few readings, I would get choked up a little. This book is great for all little ones who have to say goodbye to mom (or dad) in the mornings (and who don't like to), and for those who love animals and taking care of them. It has some fun parts revolving around baking cookies too (which you can later try with your little ones).
