My 3 and 4 year-olds love this book. The rhymes are very good (not your standard rhymes), the pictures are hysterical and the author manages to sneak in a counting exercise. Some books you get tired of reading but not this one. Finally, the lessons about safety (a not so subtle subtext) are not preachy but funny and to the point. You can't go wrong with this one.

This book is just wonderful. My 3 year-olds love it. It's silly and entertaining and also educational. If anyone in your family is a knitter, spinner or weaver buy it for them (no matter how old they are). It's a great book for grandparents who knit, etc. to share with little ones.In this time when we are more and more removed from the land this book does a great job of showing children how the sweater came to be on their back. You just can't go wrong with this one.

While I often agree with the Horn Book's reviews they are dead wrong about the Boo and Baa series. Children love them. The pictures are very sweet and easy to understand and the plot easy to follow. Kids laugh aloud at these books. The "other sheep" books (you know, Sheep in a Jeep, etc.) are really more for adults. Little kids don't really understand the cleverness of the prose of those books. Boo and Baa they get. My 16 month old son learned many words from Boo and Baa in Windy Weather and he and his friends love the book. Get these books for kids under 3-- they are just delightful!
