Selma by Jutta Bauer
Selma is asked: What is happiness? She says: Happiness is eating a little grass at sunrise, playing with the children until lunchtime, doing a little exercise after lunch, eating a little more grass, chatting with her neighbor Mrs. Miller in the evening, and then having a lovely long sleep. If she had more time? She would eat a little grass in the morning, play with the children until lunchtime, do a little exercise after lunch, eat a little more grass, chat with her neighbor Mrs. Miller in the evening, and then have a lovely long sleep. And if she won a million dollars? She would eat a little grass . . .
"‘The best in recent picture books’ Jutta Bauer’s Selma is a natty little hardback about the joys of simplicity, as expounded by a sagacious sheep. Wise and quietly hilarious; parents may find this a book worth pondering in the midst of the Christmas frazzle." -- New Zealand Listener, David Larsen
"A philosophical tale with a healthy dose of quiet humour, this appealed to our whole household " -- Good Teacher Magazine
"A philosophical tale with a healthy dose of quiet humour, this appealed to our whole household " -- Good Teacher Magazine
"Selma is an appealing-looking sheep who exudes placidity, contentment, and a little humor."
