We Adopted a Baby Lamb
by Lori Joy Smith (Author / Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound

Booktalk: Ila is excited about her family’s move to the country — mostly because it means she can have more pets! But no one expected their next addition to be a lamb. When Albert first comes home, he sleeps a lot, he eats a lot . . . and he pees on the floor A LOT. Ila and her sister and parents quickly learn how to care for a baby sheep — they must feed him and protect him. It’s not easy because Albert gets into everything!

Snippet: But he sure liked food! At first, it was mostly my mom’s tulips. Next, he discovered dandelions. Then apple blossoms — he couldn’t get enough of them! And, of course, grass.
