    About this audiobook

    From the international bestselling author of Bel Canto and Commonwealth, Ann Patchett, comes a hilarious children’s story about a slide made just for lambs.

    Nicolette Farmer is running for class president, and the rest of the Farmer family tells her she’ll win by a landslide. A pack of overconfident lambs mistakenly hear lambslide and can’t believe there’s a slide made just for them. But when they can’t find one on the farm, there’s only one thing left to do: take a vote!

    They campaign. They bargain. They ask all the other animals if they, too, would like a lambslide.

    Will the lambs ever get their special slide?

      Award-winning adult novelist Ann Patchett tries her hand at children's literature with this debut picture-book, in which a group of lambs misunderstand the word "landslide," and decide they need a slide themselves. Their wise mother instructs them to gather the opinions of the other farm animals, and then to appeal to the Farmer family, and all goes well...

      A sweet, lighthearted story from Patchett is paired here with adorable artwork from Robin Preiss Glasser, the illustrator of such favorites as Fancy Nancy, making Lambslide a pleasure to read. I think it may have been trying for something a little bit more - the opinion gathering, the community voting, it all had the feeling of a miniature civics lesson - but somehow the silliness of the whole thing prevented it from being overwhelmed by its didactic purpose. Not the most notable or accomplished picture-book I have read recently, it is still an interesting debut for Patchett.
