Floss
(Walker Books Ltd)
978-0744520712, RRP £5.99, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
The transformation of Floss from family pet to sheep dog unfolds beautifully with Kim Lewis' evocative illustrations and deliberately spare text. This follows Emma's Lamb and my favourite, The Shepherd Boy, with the same warmth, simplicity and total lack of sentimentality. All three titles create a vivid picture of country life for us all to share.
