The First Christmas Jumper and the Sheep Who Changed Everything. Ryan Trubidy. Illustrated by Chris Judge. 128 pages. [Source: Review copy]
First sentence: I’d like
to tell you a curious story the likes of which you have never heard
before. This tale begins with a sheep. Not a red-nosed one, just a
regular, run-of-the-mill, everyday, nothing-to-see-here sheep.
Premise/plot:
Hilary, the super-unique sheep, loves, loves, loves, loves, loves
Christmas. One day the farm receives a very special visitor. Hilary's
life may never be the same. This chapter book is a fun look at how the
first Christmas jumper (aka sweater) came to be.
My thoughts: I
enjoyed this humorous tale. Hilary and the other sheep live on an Irish
farm. It was a cute-enough tale that little ones may love. It features
some illustrations throughout.
