Book Summary:
After misinterpreting lambslide for landslide, a flock of lambs campaign to have a giant slide built on the farm where they live.

Mini-Review:
A super cute story! I loved the play on words and the introduction to the democratic process. I also enjoyed how the characters cooperated to achieve their goal.
Glassers’ sweet illustrations perfectly capture the characters’ emotions.

Feels like the kind of book that wasn't given the rigorous editing it required due to the prestige of this particular author writing for children for the first time.

This super cute picture book is a great primer for young kids on how to get involved and enact changes in their community. When the lambs on the farm mishear the word "landslide" as "lambslide", they decide they DO need a lambslide. But how can they make it happen? Mama sheep advises them to start by consulting stakeholders and talking to community members, figure out where the funding will come from, etc. It's a civics lesson successfully packaged into an adorable farm story and relevant in today's politically-engaged climate.

Pair this with the Click Clack Moo books for a civics-themed storytime.
