Sweet Pea & Friends: Brave Little Finn

(4) K-3 Illustrated by John Churchman. When premature lamb Finn is ready to live among the other farm animals, they assuage each of his fears (a frog, the rain, etc.). An epilogue explains that a real lamb inspired the story, and the authors rely on this at the expense of plotting. As with The SheepOver, the distinctive "photo illustrations" employ digital photomontage for a dreamy (sometimes eerily so) look.
