Nicolette Farmer is running for class president, and the rest of the Farmer family tells her she'll win by a landslide. A pack of overconfident lambs mistakenly hear lambslide and can't believe there's a slide made just for them. But when they can't find one on the farm, there's only one thing left to do: take a vote!
They campaign. They bargain. They ask all the other animals if they, too, would like a lambslide. Will the lambs ever get their special slide?
Find out in this epic collaboration between international bestselling author Ann Patchett and the bestselling illustrator of the Fancy Nancy series, Robin Preiss Glasser, a hilarious children's story about a slide made just for lambs.
"With a crafty assist from the now victorious Nicolette, they win a landslide farmyard vote for the lambslide, which is created with blue plastic sheeting on a hill. Patchett makes an important point without belaboring it: in a democracy, never count anyone out. Watercolor-and-ink depictions of farm life by Glasser (the Fancy Nancy series) seem a little idyllic at first — one of the lambs even wears a flower crown — but the approach proves to be the ideal visual counterpoint to Patchett’s plainspoken prose." — Publishers Weekly
