Description
In a read-aloud picture book for children who love animals, award-winning writer and sheep breeder Marlene M. Bell presents Nattie the lamb’s true story. MIA AND NATTIE is a heartwarming book that teaches readers about problem-solving, teamwork, and love.
On a visit to her grandma’s farm, eight-year-old Mia discovers a newborn, orphaned lamb outside in the cold and takes her to the laundry room, naming her Nattie. As she tries to nurse the lamb back to health, Mia discovers that Nattie is different from the other lambs and struggles to fit in with them like Mia does with other kids her age.
When her grandmother says she will sell Nattie to a neighbor, Mia must come up with a plan to keep her friend around—one that will show the family just how special Nattie truly is.

Mia and Nattie: One Great Team! is a cute book that shows people that we all have a purpose and to never give up. It tells the story of Nattie-a sheep and a girl named Mia. Nattie was born small with deformities. Mia's grandmother owns Nattie and Mia is constantly convincing her grandmother to keep Nattie because Nattie could still do something. This book would be great to read in a classroom or library setting. Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book. (This review is also on GoodReads.)
This was a heartwarming story about a girl who fights for the underdog, the underdog being her sheep. The sheep is smaller than normal and isn’t able to produce babies. Do they keep the sheep or sell her?
Mia and Nattie: One Great Team is an excellent children's story! It's about care and commitment, and as stated in the description, it's a heartwarming book that teaches readers about problem-solving, teamwork, and love. Yes, it does.
The writing and pictures are simplistic to understand, yet I didn't feel TOO simplistic. This book would really appeal to any youngster that has an interest and love for animals (and especially sheep), and perhaps being involved in 4-H 5th Grade and below. Highly recommended.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

As a fans of The Dodo, I can relate so much of this story. How a baby animal will be left to die by it's mother if she thought that the newborn won't survive. But a human's faith in the animal, rescue it and so many times miracle happen, the animal survive and even serve as the owner's pet.
This is a lovely story with pleasing illustrations based on true events as described by the author before the story starts. Nicely done. Children would enjoy it.
Very cute story, the illustrations are precious. Like that the author gave a small synopsis of the real Nattie's story. Wished there was one more example of Nattie being a nanny or help on the farm before the story ended, some wordiness noted but doesnt detract. Overall a strong recommendation, my kids now want a goat!
Perfect book to sit down and share with young children.
A big plus is the wording is not full of overly complicated words.
Illustrations are beautiful, simple and not overly fussy.
Mia is very endearing as she lovingly takes Nattie under her care. Though I did find Mia’s grandmother a bit mean, she did come around by the end of the story.
A story that teaches perseverance and never giving up on something or someone you believe in.
I would read this to my preschool class.
An easy read book about a short girl, her grandmother, and a lamb who would never grow to the size of the rest of the flock. Grandmother isn't hopeful and plans to sell Natalie the horned Dorset sheep, but Mia works to show that Nattie is very needed on their own farm. The illustrations by Grace Sandford are perfect and the story is a lesson to all.
OK, so this is not an unbiased review. I love wool and sheep and some wonderful *short* people.
I requested and received a temporary ebook copy from Ewephoric Publishing via NetGalley. THANK YOU.
