Title: “Lambslide” 

Author: Ann Patchett 

Illustrator: Robin Preiss Glasser (Fancy Nancy Illustrator) 

This is one of our brand-new books that came in this week. It is entertaining as well as educational.   

The setting is a farm with Mr. and Mrs. Farmer, their daughter, Nicolette, and, of course, farm animals.   

Nicolette decides to run for class president. Her mom says she will win by a landslide. The lambs overhear her and think she has said “lambslide.”    

Once the lambs are told they misheard Mrs. Farmer, they are very disappointed. Soon they launch a campaign to try to convince everyone that a lambslide would be a great idea. 

The lambs learn about working together, planning a project, talking to others about concerns, campaigning and voting.   

This is just one of our new children’s books.  We also have new books in large print and regular print.
