What did you like about the book: A colorful, funny story of Silli and his sheep is sure to entertain young readers. Silli lives in a meadow and one morning a gust of wind arrives. It is chilly and he now needs to find sheep to have wool to make yarn and a sweater to keep him warm. Up on a hill he spots sheep and brings them back down to his meadow. But their wool is too hard to make a sweater. The wind comes again the next day and he realizes the ‘sheep’ keep the wind from off him. He creates a hut with the ‘sheep rocks’ that keep out the wind and he dreams of hot chocolate.
