Synopsis
Salley Mavor’s exquisitely detailed fabric illustrations tell the story of Mary and her little lamb and the story of the dish and the spoon and the cow who jumped over the moon.

Photographs of 3-D artwork highlights intricate stitchwork by Salley Mavor to introduce youngsters to two nursery favorites: Mary Had a Little Lamb and Hey, Diddle, Diddle! Mary's farm, village and schoolhouse come to life in meticulously embroidered backgrounds; textured fabrics provide borders; patterned dresses and aprons clothe the heroine; and readers can nearly touch the woolly naps of the lamb's fleece. Meanwhile, satiny felt in nighttime hues provides the backdrop for the Holstein that leaps over a crescent moon. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
