The Sheep Who Hatched an Egg
Lola is mortified when her once-pretty wool grows back ugly and tangled. But when a lost baby bird uses her head for a nest, Lola realizes she can be more than just a pretty sheep.
Lola is proud of her amazing wool. After all, everyone on the farm tells her how beautiful she looks. She spends hours brushing her wool to keep it shiny and silky. Until one day when the weather gets hot, and all the sheep have to get haircuts--including Lola! She's so upset without her wool that she runs away and hides by herself. And when her wool finally grows back, it's tangled, messy...HORRIBLE! But hiding in Lola's wool is a wonderful surprise, one that will help her realize that she doesn't have to be pretty or perfect in order to be a friend...or to be extraordinary!
