Cuddle up to share a cozy song about giving and knitting.

In this snuggly board book perfect for small hands, a sheep has plenty of wool to share with her friend, who knits cozy gifts for her community. But when the sheep's generosity leaves her shivering, the community offers their love and gratitude - and some handknit gifts to keep warm.

Jane Cabrera's Story Time gives favorite nursery rhymes and songs a new toddler-friendly twist. These interactive favorites feature bold, bright, illustrations and catchy refrains. Don't miss other fun titles including Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush, If You're Happy and You Know It, and One, Two, Buckle My Shoe.

"Cabrera's story is singable and the bright, simple, acrylic illustrations are sweet . . . A great storytime selection."—School Library Journal
 
"The whole book—from its clever concepts and rhyming text to its adorable textured-collage artwork—is fun, but watching the black sheep go from being fat and furry to nearly naked after giving away her wool will make children laugh out loud."—Booklist
