From School Library Journal:

PreS–Although a rabbit, a cricket, a robin, and an owl all encourage a shy baby lamb to interact and explore, he continues to hide behind his mother. At last, a tiny field mouse asks him to play and, surprisingly, he says yes. As they frolic in the grass, the lamb takes his first steps into the world. The soft acrylic and colored-pencil illustrations seem to pop off the page with many shades of spring green, blue, and lavender. Including large images of the animals, the pictures work with the brief text to create a great sense of immediacy. This gentle, reassuring tale tells youngsters that they can explore their world at their own speed. The eye-catching spreads and simple language make this book a natural for toddler storytime.–Linda Staskus, Parma Regional Library, OH
