Good reading skills or parental read-aloud assistance will lend to this fun story of a sheep who makes the most of her size. Midwest Book Review<br><br>Humorous illustrations in bright colors showcase an ewe with a big personality and an even bigger heart. - Foreword Reviews<br><br>Illustrations are in the tradition of Steinberg and Sempé, the characters captured in economical, expressive ink lines, with washed skies in various shades of blue and rose. Gilda's misfit status ("I'm completely useless") makes her final triumph more satisfying; there's a place for everyone, Urberuaga argues--one just needs to find it. A Spanish edition will publish simultaneously. Publishers Weekly<br><br>The translated English edition is just as delightful as the Spanish version. A book to be shared, savored, and discussed. Kirkus Reviews<br><br>Well worth discussing among primary grade students because of its topics which are rarely seen in picture books. - School Library Journal<br>
