The Lamb Who Came for Dinner by Steve Smallman

One evening, a very hungry old wolf is dreaming about a delicious lamb stew… when suddenly there’s a knock at the door.

Standing outside is a small, friendly lamb who isn’t worried about being eaten at all. Instead, she simply wants a warm place to stay and a new friend.

The wolf begins planning the perfect lamb hotpot but the longer the lamb stays, the harder it becomes for him to see her as dinner. What starts as a tasty plan soon turns into something much more unexpected: a heartwarming friendship.

The Lamb Who Came for Dinner, written by Steve Smallman and beautifully illustrated by Joëlle Dreidemy, is a charming and humorous story that gently encourages children to question stereotypes and discover the power of kindness, friendship, and family.
