Product Description:
Woolbur's list of Do's and Don'ts:
DO express yourself creatively
DON'T worry if you weave your forelock into a pot holder!
DO march to your own beat
DON'T worry when Maa and Paa tell you to stay with the herd!
DO be bold and brave
DON'T be afraid to BE YOURSELF!
Woolbur is not like other sheep. He hangs out with wild dogs, cards his own wool to avoid the shearing barn, and even dyes his wool blue. "Don't worry!" says Grandpaa when Maa and Paa fret that Woolbur is different. But when they tell their son to follow the flock, the opposite happens—the flock follows him! Soon everyone is copying his wild hairstyles and taking turns on the spinning wheel. Leave it to Woolbur to find a new way to step ahead of the herd.
Spunky, funky, and refreshingly distinct, Woolbur will strike a chord with anyone who's ever felt different. And that's all of us!

Woolbur is a spunky little sheep with his own creative mind! My kids both love this book and the illustrations are truly amazing. It is one of the best illustrated books we own. Mommy's High Heel Shoes

Woolbur is a wonderful children's book that shows it's not only ok to be different, but it sure is a lot of fun. Knitters and spinners alike will enjoy sharing this story with their children and grandchildren.

Woolbur was a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow...until, of course, he decided to dye himself a bright, snappy blue:
"You look unbelievable!" said Paa.
"I know," said Woolbur. "Isn't it great?"
"It will never wash out!" said Maa.
"I know, " said Woolbur. "Isn't it great?"
Whether he's carding, spinning, or weaving, Woolbur's uncoventional approach to wool causes his nervous parents to pull their own wool at night, waiting for the day when Woolbur will finally follow the flock. "It's what we sheep do," say Maa and Paa, begging him to change his ways.
But Woolbur's spirited individuality can't be sheared, and before long he has the rest of the flock following him. Woolbur is the perfect yarn to share with kids who dare to be different, as well as those who need a nudge to let their own light shine. Go Woolbur!

This is a very cute book. It is very simple, easy to read and makes a great story to read to children or adults that are not "over the hill" yet. The art work is well done, funny and works well with the story to bring home a message of living big, having fun and thinking outside the flock. It also has educational value in showing the process of turning fleece into cloth.

Woolbur is a celebration of individuality, great for all ages, but my first-grader is especially enjoying Lee Harper's charming, detailed illustrations. Leslie Helakowsi and Harper have done a lovely job marrying words to images, and Woolbur's yogic Grandpaa is memorable, wise, and kind. While Woolbur's parents become anxious each night about his unwillingness to stick with the herd, Grandpaa calmly chants "Don't worry." I love the little details, like along with with an airplane and other toys littering Woolbur's bedroom floor is a book, "Zen Knitting." Woolbur gleefullyWoolbur dyes himself blue and gets into all kinds of un-sheep-like adventures, and the conclusion brings a message all kids and adults need to hear.
