title: Wool Gathering: A Sheep Family Reunion
author:  Lisa Wheeler 
description: This waggish collection of poems about an unorthodox family get-together brims with enough visual and verbal fun to appeal to both parents and children alike. The felicitous combination of whimsical watercolors and quick-witted text features a rambunctious, munching family with a plethora of spring "Lambie Kins" who get "passed from sheep to sheep/ and kissed and kissed and kissed!" Newcomer Wheeler is not sheepish about clever puns and wordplay; the character poems especially stand out. "Sister Alabaster," the Kung-Fu master, "sure knows her chops"; "Aunt Eweginia" always makes "ewesful" things even as she "knits till she is nude." The design deserves kudos, too: on one spread, the sheep play "Baa-dminton" and opt for nibbling grass over perfecting their swing while, opposite, "Brunch," shows a baseball diamond and describes "A nibble here/ A nibble there/ Where has the infield gone?" The layout also plays up the punch line for a couple of poems: goofy "Woolverton" carries a bouquet of flowers and wears a love-sick expression, but doesn't know his true love is a cow (revealed with the turn of a page), and "Hiram's Horns" are so magnificent, the family decorates them each Christmas (a full spread is dedicated to their finery). These irresistible sheep relatives will captivate young readers from the time they arrive to their last "So long... farewool... good-baaa." Ages 3-6.

  Holiday Ranch Reunion
  
  
  Leanne Walsh is stunned when Reuben Walsh returns to his family’s ranch for
  the holidays. No matter how hard she tried to convince herself that marrying
  the more stable Walsh brother was the right decision, it was unpredictable
  Reuben who held her heart—until he broke it. Leanne’s frosty reception cuts
  deeper than Reuben expected, yet he can’t leave the widowed single mom
  shorthanded with
