Selma came home from school in the middle of the day with a stomach ache. As she was convalescing, she re-discovered my stack of fiber-related children’s books. After reading Cashmere If You Can
Cashmere if you Can, written by Terron Shaefer and illustrated by Christopher Corr is a funny and fantastic book. It’s about a goat that becomes a super model. It is great for children and adults of all ages, and it even has a moral of honesty and truth. It is a goat’s life story. Wawa (the goat) and her family live in a city that’s inside a canyon called New Rock in Mongolia. They live on everything tourists leave behind. One day, Wawa’s little brother Hauhau found a camera that was his sister’s ticket to fame. The illustrations in the book are colorful, abstract and cartoony. The book may be short, but it is not for babies. To find out the rest of the story, you have to read the book.
Here is my favorite illustration:
I like how the illustrator fits everyday things (like graffiti and art) into a totally not everyday story.

Thank you for the great book review Selma. I will now have to locate a copy of this book for my fiber library. Have you ever heard of Derek the Knitting Dinosaur by Mary Blackwood? I really like it.
Great book review, Selma!
It looks like an interesting book and I'll have to see if my library has it.
I hope you're feeling better now!

Selma, this book review is useful and informative. It tells who the book is suitable for, and it tells enough of the plot to make your readers want to read it.
