"Floss"

 

by Kim Lewis

 

"A warmhearted story about the importance of having fun. When Floss leaves the town where she grew up to become a sheepdog on a farm, she'd like to play with the farmer's children. But with so much work, there's isn't time--until the farmer realizes his children need Floss as a companion as much as she needs them."

 

"Nose kicks, passes, springs in the air -- Floss is a young Border collie who really knows how to play ball! Will she ever get the chance to play ball again?"

 

"Dog Lovers in particular will be touched by Floss's plight and Lewis's tender, true-to-life portrayal of her diverse expressions." -- Publishers Weekly

 

"A veritable armchair tour through the mountainous wilds of northern England and its working sheep farms." -- School Library Journal

 

"The drawings of Floss are particularly lively." -- Booklist 

 

Kim Lewis lives on a sheep farm in Northumberland, England with her husband and two young children.
