Summary:
A sheep allows her friends to help themselves to her wool, thus leaving herself quite bare-and cold-when winter's snows come. Her dilemma is resolved by an equally generous farmer's gift of a hand-knitted sweater.

Genre:
It's a animal fantasy book since all the characters in this book are animals acting like human and the plots are imagined by the author.

Critiques:
1.The language in this book is in a very peace and sweet style withe prices vocabulary, which is good for beginners to read. Not many unexpected insight or complex plot but good for relaxing reading.
2.The media of this book is water-color, which makes the book in a very soft and warm texture.

Comments on use:
Suitable for students to read by themselves.

Seeing that change in character is what helps to develop a great story.… (more)
