The Story of a Lamb on Wheels

The story follows a woolly toy lamb on wheels that awakens with other playthings whenever humans are absent and longs for adventure. After being given to a little girl, the lamb experiences a series of episodic mishaps—sliding down sidewalks, falling into a coal hole, being carried away, and drifting along waterways or loads of wood—each incident prompting quick thinking and rescue attempts. The narrative traces the lamb's changing conditions, from being smeared with coal dust to narrowly escaping danger, and shows how children and neighbors respond to recover and care for the toy. The book closes with the lamb restored and the child's joy at its safe return.
