    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Eversole, Robyn. Red Berry Wool. Illustrated by Tim Coffey. Whitman, 1999. ISBN 0-807-50654-0. A Pre-4 PB Reviewed by Irene Halliday Lalo, a bright and adventurous little lamb, notices everything. When the boy who watches over the sheep comes dressed in a berry-red, sheep-wool sweater, Lalo hurries to his mother to ask why the boy is “bright like berries.” She explains that the sweater is “made from our wool. Isn&#039;t it lovely?” Lalo decides he wants his wool to look just like the sweater. Running back to his mother, he asks how sweaters are made. “Wash the wool, Spin it. Dye the wool, Knit it.” As Lalo repeats this little rhyme, he goes about each step, hoping his wool will become berry red. But washing in the drinking pond is cold and slippery, spinning makes him so dizzy that he tumbles into a thorn bush, and dyeing with berries takes him far from the flock and into a painful encounter with a snake. After each misadventure, the boy comes to rescue Lalo. None of these adventures does anything to his wool but make it splotchy and scraggly, full of burrs, thorns, leaves, and brownish berry stains. But in a berry-red sunset, the knitting, the bringing together of Lalo and the boy, helps Lalo&#039;s disappointment go away as he enjoys the companionship of his friend and rescuer. The gentle warmth of Eversole&#039;s text is greatly enhanced by Tim Coffey&#039;s charming illustrations. Using acrylic on watercolor paper textured with gesso, Coffey has created colorful, richly patterned scenes. Patterns are repeated in trees, bushes, rocks, sheep&#039;s wool, and backgrounds, tying together not only the illustrations, but the story as well. Kid-tested, along with several other books , on a family with children ages 2-13, this appealing story was the general favorite. Even very young children, noticed and appreciated the illustrative details and readily recognized and identified with Lalo&#039;s humorous attempts to beautify his wool. The cozy, calming conclusion makes Red Berry Wool an ideal story for bedtime, naptime, or anytime.]]></dcterms:description>
