Emily Walks the Sheep Trail

Book Cover & Preview Text
As we walked along the path next to the river, I could hear bells ringing. Some of the older ewes wore the bells to help us find our way. Since this was my first time on the trail, I was glad to hear the bells. I knew that I would not get lost if I followed their sound. I stayed very close to mom because she had been on this trail before, and I knew she would teach me what to do. Maybe next year I would be chosen to wear a bell, too.
