(More customer reviews)Don't let the title of this book steer you away from buying it. This is not the sad little poem we remember from our childhood about the lamb following Mary and getting her into trouble.
In this version, Mary's little lamb decides to be independent and wander around the farm by himself. He does get into a bit of trouble, but at the end of the day, Mary is there to clean him up and tuck him into bed.
The poem is funny, cute, and catchy enough to get your toddler's attention, but the real reason to buy this book is the artwork. Every animal has a wonderful, comical expression on his or her face and there are lots of little details to notice. For instance, there are kitty cats in the background of most of the illustrations that my toddler likes to pick out.
The only thing I don't like about this book is that most of the animals - including the lamb - are referred to as "it" rather than "he" or "she." I don't think it's a good idea to refer to living things as "its" to a small child, so when I read this book I insert "he" and "she" where appropriate.
