K-Gr 2 When the farmers suddenly abandon their work in favor of an easier profit, Gilda the giant sheep leaves in fear for her life. On her journey for a new home and job, she becomes intimidated by the big city, and is left dejected by the circus' rejection. In the end, she finds a place where her size makes a difference, and attains the peaceful life and companionship she desires. Award-winning Spanish illustrator Urberuaga has a very loose style. Gilda's size varies across pages; sometimes she is as tall as a building, and in others, she is smaller than a circus tent. His narrative also embraces this more relaxed attitude, flowing from plot point to plot point with little to suggest where it is heading. The message about finding a place where one is appreciated for their qualities and their work does come through in the end though. Even though the theme of job loss may not be directly relatable to children, it is nevertheless worth discussing, as it can affect so many around them. This subject, and that of sending Gilda to the butcher, are treated in a matter-of-fact tone. VERDICT Well worth discussing among primary grade students because of its topics which are rarely seen in picture books. Rachel Forbes, Oakville Public Library, Ont .
