Woolbur


Woolbur by Leslie Helakoski, illustrated by Lee Harper, Harper Collins Publishers, 2008, ISBN 978-0-06-084727-2
Book Jacket: "If you are a free spirit, this book is for you!"
Delightful story all the way around. Woolbur is so cute and personable you can't help but like him! And no matter what Maa and Paa say he's doing "wrong", he always responds with: "I know,...Isn't it great?" And Grandpaa says, "Don't Worry." Maa and Paa finally tell him that he must do things just like everyone else does. So Woolbur thinks. And for then on...HE taught everyone to do things like he does, to "run with the dogs and spin crazy yarn and experiment with color."
Maa muses, "Woolbur does not think like we do", to which I say, "I know...Isn't it great?"
