Mary Had a Little Lab

Angie Karcher's Best in Rhyme Award 2019

A funny, modern take on a classic nursery rhyme featuring a crafty, science-minded girl.

Mary is an enterprising young inventor. One day she realizes she has no friends, so she decides a pet will do the trick. But the pet Mary wants isn't one she can easily buy...so she makes one―and it's a sheep, of course! Soon Mary, her sheep, and her new invention gain her popularity and friends. But when she starts making sheep for her new friends, chaos abounds.
