Funny Ruby
Ruby is a young sheep who is great at getting into trouble, but not so good at getting out of it. Children will laugh along with Ruby in this collection of four very short stories for beginning readers inspired by the author’s life with sheep. (None of her sheep are as naughty as Ruby, however!)
reviews
“Sometimes good things really do come in small packages—especially if they’re petit packages of books for little people!…With short, funny stories and simple, colorful illustrations, the [Brand New Readers] series makes it easy to get a head start on reading…in Funny Ruby and Silly Ruby, readers are treated to the adventures of an adorable sheep.” (Minnesota Parent)
