Woolbur


Woolbur by Leslie Helakoski, Illustrated by Lee Harper
Reading level: ages 4-6

Woolbur is a unique sheep. He never seems to do what is normal for sheep! Woolbur does not get sheered, makes friends with dogs, and even dies his wool! Maa and Paa are concerned about his behavior, but Grandpaa always says, “Don’t worry.” Soon it seems everyone wants to be like Woolbur, because being yourself is always more fun than following the pack!

Woolbur is a wonderful story celebrating individuality! Harper’s illustrations compliment Woolbur’s adventure perfectly, and will be sure to make reader’s laugh! Woolbur is a fun and adorable read about the beauty of being yourself, and is a great family read aloud with something for everyone to love!
