Sheep Books

I run a public storytime that caters to a wide variety of ages and I rely on this book for help - every season and every session. Great ideas and a wonderful selection of topics and materials are just a part of the charm of this book. The only thing better than this book would be this book plus another volume by the same author with more themes!!

All of the children's librarians in my system love this book and would be lost without it. It is their "storytime bible". Jane Cobb has come up with the most helpful storytime resource I have seen in ages (and I have seen a lot). I've had this book for a long time, but was moved to just now write a comment on it. I was checking Amazon to see if Ms. Cobb had maybe written another like it. I would hate to see "I'm a Little Teapot" go out of print. Future children's librarians should not be deprived of such a treasure.

THIS IS A GOOD BOOK.PAM IS GOING TRILE RIDING AND WHEN SHE GETS TO THE TRILE SHE SEE SHEEP ON THE PONY PAL TRILE! CAN THE PONY PALS GET THERE TRILE BACK? FIND OUT!

When Pam and her pony Lightning find a sheep pen on Pony Pal trail they are very surprised. Anna and LuLu are also surprised. When they find out who owns the sheep pen.

We recently began raising sheep and I was forever searching the internet for solutions to our problems. Since I purchased this book, the searching is over. Every problem we have encountered has been in the book. It's been a great source.

This is the BEST book if you raise sheep. Young lambs can have so many problems, and they can become weak and die quickly. This book is very easy to use and the dosages for medication are clearly explained. We use it every year. My husband is a Vet and he recommends it.

I think this is a great book. I just adopted my son, 2 years old, and it is a transracial adoption. I think this book successfully talks about adoption, being different, love and the meaning of family without overly spelling out issues in the adoption process. It does not bring up things that may present complicated feelings or questions. What I mean is, the message of being loved if your adopted or different comes across without it being spelled out so loudly, so your child just feels that you love him no matter what he looks like or where he came from.
I also know that as my son grows up, he may feel a want to have our skin be the same color. This book addresses that-the brown mom kangaroo and the little white lamb both do things to look like the other because they love each other so much, but realize they really love each other for who they are...and it doesn't matter that they are different, they have each other. They are a family.

What a great book!

I had to read this book out loud to a small gathering of 3 and under kids--it was one of the only books I read that seemed to hold their attention. The illustrations are vibrant and bold without being overwhelming, the characters emotions are conveyed really well on the page. The story itself has a wonderful blend of silliness and heart. Ultimately its a story about adoption and how differences can be a good thing, its also about family and love. But it has great moments where you get to read words like "Boing!" and "maa-aa-aa" out loud, which any little kid can get into.

Very good book.

"Now that you are starting a new life, I am going to give you a new name. How does Lass sound to you?" asked Phillip Keller, the new owner that Lass was introduced to through a personal ad. Although there was a need on both the sheepdog and new owners behalf, Lass escaped from Phillip as soon as the leash was removed. The pages of this book are enhanced by eloquent illustrations. The adventures and mishaps that Lass and Phillip have with one another and other animals are entertaining and suspensful. This is a book for every dog lover.

This is an outstanding book not only for children but for adults also. I have 4 children from ages 9-15 and they all greatly enjoyed and loved this book! Highly recommended!

Each year Master Sang puts out his annual Astrology and Feng Shui guide. I find these books invaluable! Not only does it provide you a monthly look at your astrology, but it also gives a day-by-day calendar of what is auspicious and inauspicious for that day such as when to begin new endeavors or which days to watch out for trouble. Add to this the annual analysis of the Feng Shui for the year and you have a lot of information in a little guidebook.

Part I of the book has the predictions for the 12 solar months of 2003 for the 12 animals. Each animal sign has the month broken down into the auspicous and inauspicious times.

Part II has the Feng Shui predictions for 2003 based on each of the 9 sections. It also shows the exact directions to avoid digging in for 2003.

Part III is the day selection guide. It has 12 montly calendars with a day-by-day indication of favorable and unfavorable activities.

Each section explains how to determine the key pieces; such as determining your animal sign, how to read your home, and how to read the calendar.

This is a great reference for the entire year.

What I like most about Master Sang's Guide is the Day-to-Day Almanach to identify favorable and unfavorable days for certain activities. For example: if you plan a trip, you can select a day that indicates that travelling is good (or you avoid a certain day where it says "bad for travelling"). But the Almanch even goes on a personal level. Depending on your birth year (your chinese animal sign) there are certain days that are especially unfavorable for you, so you can plan ahead and avoid bigger or special activities on those days.
Very exciting - the book helps me every day.

A captivating read of a vanished Rocky Mountain culture who "bucked the trend" of normal society by retreating to the high mountainous regions of the Yellowstone environs.

The authors have carefully pieced together significant evidence and documentation to impart the reader with a respected awe into the lives of the Sheep Eater Indians.
From archeological digs, petroglyphic sites, stone and animal tools, etc. to discussions with contemporary day descendants, this study covers it all in general terminology.

Having visited a few of these sites myself, it never ceases to amaze what had once occured in these landscapes so long ago.

The Sheep Eaters were an amazing people that flourished in the majestic, alpine environments of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, including areas that are now part of Yellowstone National Park. They lived entirely by gathering the natural plant foods of their environment in addition to hunting Big Horn Sheep, which was their primary source of protein. They were renown as a peaceful, highly-skilled, and even industrious people who so thoroughly mastered their rugged alpine environment, they opted to continue living in the mountains even after others in the region adopted the horse, the tipi, and the buffalo-hunting-on-the-plains lifestyle.

The authors provide a thorough picture of Sheep Eater history and culture, including social structure, religious beliefs, and the crafting of their tools, clothes, bows, living shelters, and even their cookware.

This is an excellent introduction to a Native American people that few know anything about. Both scholars and laymen will enjoy the very accessible, easy-to-read material. Mountain Spirit should be required reading for everyone interested in the American West, Native American culture, as well as those seeking inspiration from a people who managed to prosper in one of the most beautiful and forbidding environments in North America.

It just gets cuter and cuter with every page. Bought this as a gift--great success! :-)

This is such a fun touch-and-feel book! Nigel, the sneaky sheep in, doesn't want to get sheared. So, he hides wherever he can--in the mulberry bush, granny's hair, and more. But, he eventually gets a little too big and fluffy!
Little kids will love the big, soft fleece that appears on every page.

Although some other spanish poets such as Federico García Lorca or Rafael Alberti are more popular in America, among the spaniards Cernuda is considered to be the best one. Why do i have titled an "european poet"? Because he probably was the most european of all the poets of what it's been called " La Generación del 27". He always loved the Coleridge, Donne, ... you can follow that trace in his poetry. He has also been the most influential poet among spanish poets. So, I think this is a good chance to get to know one of the most interesting and unknown european poet of this century.

century poet. Why Luis Cernuda is not better known is beyond me, but this wonderful translation should win him some english-speaking readers and admirers. For the english-bound reader, there are two crucially important translations of Spanish 20th-century poetry: this book is one, and Antonio Machado's "Selected Poems," translated by Alan Trueblood and published by Harvard, is the other. Don't hesitate, this book is exceptional!

The book was just like the movie but skipped some parts but had the best parts in it. The pictures were very colorful.

i have the book n it is the best book ever made u all should read it also that it is harlarious everytime i read a chapter i am laughing so hard ! tht i can't even hear anything!
