The sheep in this story is a dreamer, while her friend the wolf has a more practical disposition. One day the sheep runs to the wolf with an idea. She wants to build a flying machine! But the wolf tells her it's impossible. Eventually, however, the sheep's dream gets the better of the wolf's doubts, and they begin to work on the project together. Through perseverance and the process of trial and error, the sheep and wolf manage to create a winning design, brought to life by architecturally and mathematically inspired paper collage art. At the end of this whimsical tale, even the wolf has to admit that anything is possible!

Lovely book about perseverance and teamwork. Two unlikely animals team up to see if they can create a flying machine. Beautiful illustrations take the reader on a journey as they work out Galileo-like formulas to make the possibility of flight a reality. "Someone once wrote that only those who dream learn to fly". A wonderful way to teach children that what may start out as a dream, with hard work and ingenuity the sky is the limit!
This has been my 3-year old son's favorite bedtime book for the past month or so. It's a fairly short book - under 5 minutes, but he loves the sheep and wolf illustrations. It also has a positive message, as the title implies.
The message of this book is truly beautiful...with true ambition and continued effort "Anything is Possible." We always buy a hard back book and inscribe it for our little boy for birthday and Christmas. While we love the message, our little boy is not that interested in the book itself - probably due to the illustrations, which I LOVE. They are of da Vinci inventions and drawings of his inventions. Hopefully our son will appreciate it some day.
I bought this book for my 4 year old son when he was having a hard time with his lego creations. Those bricks don't stay together like they used to plus his designs aren't terribly stable and it was resulting in mega-frustration. I think this book really solidifies the message "if at first you don't succeed, try again". It's proven to be invaluable for us. : )
I teach a STEM enrichment class for ages 3 - 6, so am always on the lookout for great books about inventors. This one has a nice engaging story, great illustrations (though adults like the illustrations more than the kids do... ) and nice modelling of the tinkering process - build something, test it, rebuild, and test again. Not much explanation of any science of how the thing is supposed to actually fly.... kids won't care, but some adults prefer that even imagination-focused books have a little more basis in reality. For other recommended books about inventors, see my blog Inventors of Tomorrow.
We love our books, my grandson just turned two and he loves us to read to him, and he remembers the stories too after we read! Great book!
I needed a book to read to my son's 5th grade class, I teach 1st and needed something 5th graders would like. They did!
gave as a gift to a teacher who often said "anything is possible" to read to her grandchildren. She loved it.
