Lammie

Summary of Lammie
Lammie's family and friends describe her as full of adventure, kind, and creative....a lamb girl with a ready smile!

The story takes place in East Quogue, NY. Spring has finally arrived. Residents in the area rejoice as tiny blossoms appear almost everywhere, even in town!

Every short chapter of this book reveals Lammie's outgoing personality. In chapter one, Lammie is asked to dress herself and her brother in their best clothes, but Mom gives no reason, and Lammie is puzzled. She is happily surprised when the mystery is solved several hours later.

Although Lammie is playful and fun loving, she's quite serious about caring for brother Erwin, as Mom does laundry for the lamb community. The by words of the community is Respect, Patience, and Understanding. She is learning the rules since young lambs are asked to memorize by heart. Most days are busy and happy, yet challenges do often arise. Mistakes are made! Luckily, Mom and Granny stop their chores every so often, and check up on the young lambs when they least expect it.

In some chapters Lammie uses her imagination to have more fun and ward off boredom and bad feelings. She likes to show Erwin some of her special places on the farm, and prepare him to learn to read. One day she helped him make a chart of the black ants he likes to observe. He colored them all by himself.

The last chapter describes a heat wave, when residents flock to the ocean, then later, must leave quickly and return home due to an unexpected storm. Luck was with the little family that day!
