About this ebook
This charming story told in lyrical verse will inspire young readers to share the best of themselves. An industrious black sheep has wool aplenty, but little else for her friends. Horse needs hay, Mouse needs cheese, and Pig needs slop, but the poor black sheep has none of these. When her dissatisfied friends confront Sheep about her inability to share, they find that their lovely friend has knitted a special gift for each of them with her very own wool.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I was drawn in by the cover, because yarn. Very cute story.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Characters: Black sheep, three kittens, horse, dog, mouse, pig, bird Setting: Winter, Black sheep's Victorian cabinTheme: Sharing Summary: Mrs. Sheep waves goodbye to her master, the dame, and the little boy. After their departure, three little kittens visit asking for milk, a pig for slop, a horse for hay, a dog for bones, a bird for seed, and a mouse for cheese. But Mrs. Sheep says no to all of them. Later they all together visit Mrs. Sheep to ask why she turned all of them down only to find out that she has a woolen surprise for everyone. She has knitted mittens for kittens, a hat for the pig, a shawl for the horse, and clothes for the mouse, the bird, and the dog. Everyone has come to value sharing and revisits Mrs. Sheep with handful of presents.Review: The author's retake on an old rhyme is very entertaining. The use of watercolor delivers warmth and matches well with the book's theme. The teacher can sing the story with small children since the rhythm and melody are prevalently well known, while playing a muppet show. The teacher can also use voicethread to record students reading (or singing) each line of the book. If the teacher wants to make it a take home assignment, students can record at home with parents, facilitating parent involvement. It is a great book to keep in the class library. Curriculum ties: Language arts (rhyme, vocabulary), science (winter, snow), art (color, knitting), music
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Part Bb/Picture BookTrapani, I. (2001). Baa baa black sheep. Watertown, MA: Charlesbridge.Trapani takes the traditional nursery rhyme of “Baa Baa Black Sheep” and creates a story that is sure to grab the attention of young readers. Many animals go to the black sheep looking for different kinds of food. Each animal is always denied, so the animals begin to think that the black sheep is unkind and will not share. They finally realize that the black sheep is kind and has been spending time knitting gifts for each of the animals. Ages 4-7.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This nursery rhyme is about a sheep who makes wool. He is visited by several friends who each have a special request. These friends range from cats requesting milk to a mouse requesting cheese. The only problem is that Black Sheep does not have any of those items to give.This book was one of my son's first books that his grandmother gave him and it is one of his favorites. This is a great nursery rhyme for preschoolers and kindergarteners. The colorful illustrations help teach a great lesson in giving. For a classroom extension, I would have students bring to school their most prized possession to do a show and tell. Another idea would be to assign each child or let them choose a character in the story. They would then draw a picture of that character taking their something special to Black Sheep.
