Baa for Beginners

Author: Deborah Fajerman

Did you know lambs have to learn baa language? No, neither did I until reading it here. Class teacher Mrs Ramsbottom (yes, really) takes her pupils on a field trip, and soon they are learning all the different ways baa can sound – in rhyme: ‘Baa is shivery when it snows…/And is whisked right away when the wind blows.’

The lambs all pass their baa exams and get gold stars, so that’s all right. Lots of woolly lambs prance about doing things no sheep was ever intended to do, but adding fun to a quirky story.
