An adventurous sheep tries to take a walk on the wild side and encounters more than she expected.
Lana Lynn is an intrepid sheep. The other members of her flock are content to nibble grass in the pasture, sip water from the pond, and nap in the meadow. But not Lana Lynn. She wants...adventure!
So one night, when the moon is high and the other sheep are asleep, Lana Lynn finds a disguise and dashes into the wild woods to see what life is like as a wolf. It's fun to run through the wild woods, stay up very late, and howl at the Moon—but is life with the wolf pack everything it seems?
Rebecca Van Slyke's charming depiction of an overconfident protagonist confronting new experiences is enhanced by Anca Sandu's humorous illustrations.
Rebecca Van Slyke studied marine biology at Olympic Community College, received a teaching degree from Western Washington University, and got an MFA in writing for children from Vermont College of Fine Arts. A second-grade teacher, she is also the author of several books for young readers. She lives in Washington.
Anca Sandu was born in the flatlands of eastern Romania. Her grandma declared her a "drawer" of perfect circles at age two. Heeding the call to be the artist of the family, she studied children's illustration at Anglia Ruskin University, in Cambridge, England, and discovered that her passion for drawing helped her overcome her introversion. She now enjoys engaging most humans nearly as much as drawing them. She's the author-illustrator of Churchill's Tale of Tails, as well as other books about pigs, good monsters, sheep, and gnus and shrews. Anca lives in Beaverton, Oregon, along with her husband and their ever-expanding book collection.
