MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB, poem by Sarah Josepha Hale, illustrated by Tomie dePaola, was first published as a picture book in 1984. It was published as a board book in January 2004.

Publisher's Note: "Since this nursery rhyme first appeared in 1830, children have loved it. When Tomie dePaola discovered that Hale had been born near his New Hampshire home, he knew he wanted to illustrate this perennial favorite. DePaola uses his signature folk art style and sets the poem in a traditional 19th century New England setting. The result is an endearing interpretation of the little lamb that followed Mary to school and how the teacher handled it."

This book will be sent autographed "Tomie (year)." However, a note will be sent to you after you've purchased the book to ask if you'd like the autograph personalized. Be warned that an autograph made with a marker on a board book is often not very solid and clear because of the coating on the pages of a board book.
