I enjoyed reading this book, mostly because I have always wanted a cat. In my opinion, two of the main ideas are being grateful and not judging by outer appearances. The first reason I enjoyed this story is because of its setup. No matter where you open the book to, the left page is white with black, big letter writing, and the right is an image that expresses the context. It is very consistent and helpful for readers. Another reason I liked this story is because of how the main character, show more Holly, developed. At first she was upset that Tom wasn't what she wanted, but she grew to like him and took care of him when he needed help. Seeing that change in character is what helps to develop a great story. show less
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 show more 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.

Cute idea - hedgehog keeps getting stuff stuck to her quills, and only the last animal she meets can help her dislodge everything.
I liked this book for two reasons. The first reason I liked this book was because of the humor it includes. For example, the main character is a hedgehog that cannot seem to get a fallen apple of his back. The second reason I liked this book was because it represents friendship. For example, when the hedgehog cannot get the apple of his back, his friends try their best to help him. The big idea of this book is that friends are always there in times of need. The hedgehogs' friends helped him show more and showed true friendship show less
