From Booklist

PreS. What happens when Mary's little lamb gets to school? Like The Eensy Weensy Spider (2000) and other books in Hoberman and Westcott's Sing-Along Stories series, this playful extension of the original nursery rhyme adds to the nonsense with simple words and clear, slapstick watercolor-and-ink illustrations. Spruced up by Mary with bleach and spot-remover, the snowy lamb plays ball in the schoolyard and tries to learn in the classroom. The children "laugh and play" all right, but what does the teacher say when the lamb is asked to read aloud and "all it said was . . .'Baa'"? Hoberman maintains the rhythm with each verse and includes musical notation, so kids can sing along. Westcott's bright pictures, detailed without being busy, add to the fun--best of all is the little lamb seated at the lunch table, eating grass. A few activities are appended. Hazel Rochman
