DO march to your own beat… DON'T worry when Maa and Paa tell you to stay with the herd! DO be bold and brave… DON'T be afraid to BE YOURSELF! Woolbur is not like other sheep. He hangs out with wild dogs, cards his own wool to avoid the shearing barn, and even dyes his wool blue. "Don't worry!" says Grandpaa when Maa and Paa fret that Woolbur is different. But when they tell their son to follow the flock, the opposite happens—the flock follows him! Soon everyone is copying his wild hairstyles and taking turns on the spinning wheel. Leave it to Woolbur to find a new way to step ahead of the herd. Spunky, funky, and refreshingly distinct, Woolbur will strike a chord with anyone who's ever felt different. And that's all of us!

"I know," said Woolbur. "Isn't it great?" "It will never wash out!" said Maa. "I know, " said Woolbur. "Isn't it great?" Whether he's carding, spinning, or weaving, Woolbur's uncoventional approach to wool causes his nervous parents to pull their own wool at night, waiting for ...

It is very simple, easy to read and makes a great story to read to children or adults that are not "over the hill" yet. The art work is well done, funny and works well with the story to bring home a message of living big, having fun and thinking outside the flock. It also has educational value in showing the process of turning fleece into cloth. Rating: - funny, sweet, and charmingWoolbur is a celebration of individuality, great for all ages, but my first-grader is especially enjoying Lee Harper's charming, detailed illustrations. Leslie Helakowsi and Harper have done a lovely job marrying words to images, and Woolbur's yogic Grandpaa is memorable, wise, and kind. While Woolbur's parents become anxious each night about his unwillingness to stick with the herd, Grandpaa calmly chants "Don't worry." I love the little details, like along with with an airplane and other toys littering ... Read More
