Review In "The Boy Who Said Baa: A Christmas Story," Judy Dryden and Rosie Brooks give us an utterly delightful story presented in a fun Dr. Seuss-like style. The lilting rhyme adds an enjoyable cadence to the narrative. The full-color illustrations superbly capture the characters and plot. When the story began with parents struggling to support a child with delayed speech, I was curious about how this topic could be presented in an imaginative way for younger children. I wasnt disappointed. The triumphal "Baa heard around the world" had me cheering for the boy who plays his part to perfection, despite everything around him being turned upside down. This charming story is an important reminder to us all about accepting and appreciating our differences. -- Readers Favorite Reviews"The Boy Who Said Baa" by Judy Dryden is a hilarious story with an underlying message of empathy told through Rosie Brooks vivid illustrations that will make children laugh and think simultaneously. The book offers a humorous look at a boys slow speech process, with an underlying message about not discounting anyones worth because of disabilities. The amusing illustrations enhance the narration. - "Nothing But Picture Books" Reviews"The Boy Who Said Baa: A Christmas Story" is about a child who is selected for the small role of a sheep in a Nativity play because the only word he can say is "baa." But everything goes awry during the play. The other kids flubtheir lines and drop their props and the set comes crashing down. The only performance that comes off perfectly is the boy in the sheeps role, whose "baa" saves the day and reverberates around the world, bringing joy to all who hear it and giving the boy confidence for the first time. -- Wilton BulletinDryden knew the anxiety (of being the parent of a child with delayed speech issues); its scary.
