Lambslide
Author(s): Ann Patchett
From the international bestselling author of Bel Canto and Commonwealth, Ann Patchett, and the bestselling illustrator of the Fancy Nancy series, Robin Preiss Glasser, comes a hilarious children’s story about a slide made just for lambs.
Nicolette Farmer is running for class president, and the rest of the Farmer family tells her she’ll win by a landslide. A pack of overconfident lambs mistakenly hear lambslide and can’t believe there’s a slide made just for them. But when they can’t find one on the farm, there’s only one thing left to do: take a vote!
They campaign. They bargain. They ask all the other animals if they, too, would like a lambslide.
Will the lambs ever get their special slide?
Find out in this epic collaboration between Patchett and Glasser, who create the perfect children’s book.
Review(s):
“A good story about cooperation—and the democratic process.”
“Patchett’s first children’s book is pleasantly old-fashioned, with some modern touches...”
“[Glasser’s] art amiably captures the daily milieu of farm life, from piglets cheerfully rolling in the muck to farmers chucking hay bales to Nicolette’s daydreaming under dappled leaves and swaying branches.”
“[Patchett’s] gentle humor [respects] the whimsy of childhood.”
“Award-winning adult author Patchett makes her picture-book
debut with this feel-good story, stuffed with tips on how to solve a problem and execute a plan.”
“And what a slide it is! It’s a stunning success...”
“A fun way to introduce the concepts of campaigning and voting to young readers.”
