When Duck lands in Wolf’s backyard with an injured wing, Wolf and Little Lamb nurse her back to health—but it’s not long before Duck is flying to THEIR rescue!

In this fifth installment of the adorable series featuring best friends Little Lamb and Wolf, a little duck lands in Wolf’s backyard with an injured wing. Little Lamb and Wolf nurse Duck back to health, but it’s not long before Duck is flying to THEIR rescue! This is a heartwarming story about unlikely friendships and challenging stereotypes.
Steve Smallman worked as a children's book ilustrator for 20 years before he decided to try writing his own. Now, more than 100 books later, he's still at it! He visits schools, libraries, and festivals and paints murals, too!  When he's not working, he enjoys vacations, watching TV, gardening, and juggling grandchildren.

Wolf and Little Lamb are hanging clothes out to dry when a strong wind sends their laundry flying. The two friends and Omelet, their alligator, chase the clothes. Little Lamb snags a sock, while Omelet snatches a pair of pants. Meanwhile, the wind blows a little duck into an apple tree, where she bumps her head and injures her wing before falling into Wolf’s arms. Wolf and Little Lamb call the duck Apple and take her home to nurse her. Though eager to fly, she’s hampered by injuries. One day, while they’re flying a kite, it lifts Little Lamb into the air. Determined to save her friend, Apple leaps after her, rescues her, and regains her ability to fly. The fifth picture book in the Lamb Who Came for Dinner series introduces a small but determined character to the cast and concludes the story in a child-pleasing way. In the colorful, expressive illustrations, the outdoor action scenes contrast nicely with the cozy atmosphere inside Wolf and Little Lamb’s home. A lively addition to this appealing series. --JBooklist
