Minikin

Minikin reminds me so much of a little runty dog that I had that I told he couldn't go on our walks in the country until he was bigger. As a result the pup did exactly what the lamb did by trying to swallow down everything he could get his mouth on but unlike Minikin he didn't gain any weight.

This is an adorable story about a lamb who knows that what makes him different wasn't actually his fault and is alright with it until he can't take it anymore. From there you see his attempts to be better than he is and then his eventual acceptance of just being him with cute photos to follow through the story.

This is a book I've owned since childhood. Read it again - it's alright. Basically a story about being okay with yourself even if you're not as big as you'd like to be. I owned two books like this, this one and one with the title The Muffin Muncher - no comment. I think that's in a box somewhere.
