Synopsis

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.

About this title

From the Back Cover

On the farm there was a flock of lambs who believed that everything was done especially for them. The grass grew to please them and the rain fell to annoy them.

So when the lambs overhear the Farmer family say something about winning a school election by a landslide, of course they hear the word LAMBSLIDE.

Wait . . . there’s a slide made just for lambs?!

“How do we get a lambslide?” they all wonder.

There’s only one thing to do: Take a vote!
