Smudge Books

Smudge is an adorable black-and-white lamb, who lives in Farmer Cobb's farmyard with his mother and many other animals. One fine spring day, though, Smudge decides to see the world outside Farmer Cobb's fence, and finds himself on a glorious adventure-until he discovers that he can't get back in . Smudge, the Little Lost Lamb, James Herriot's newest story for children, is another delightful addition to the beloved country veterinarian's award-winning series of books for young readers. Illustrated with the radiant watercolors of Ruth Brown, it will be a joy for readers of all ages.

Smudge is an adventurous Swaledale lamb who thinks the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Escaping under the wire, he then has a series of encounters - with a dog, a bull, a coach and finally a spring blizzard. The author also wrote "All Creatures Great and Small".
