When Little Baa wanders off one spring day, Ma looks all over the field for her lamb until, with the help of the familiar Floss the sheepdog, they are reunited. The spare text uses "Ma" and "Baa" repeatedly to recall sheep vocalizations, nicely capturing the mother's growing concern. Lewis's ethereal colored pencil drawings evoke the pastoral lushness of spring.
