Why Kids Love This Sheep and Lamb
On the left stands a big, woolly ewe, and on the right her little lamb looks up at her. Both have thick curls and friendly faces with ears sticking out to the sides. A wooden fence and a barn with windows and a door fill the background, and tufts of grass grow in front. The animals are large and clear while the background stays simple – just right for little artists.
