Luca is on the loose! Join the chase to catch Luca the lamb. This entertaining farm adventure follows a gaggle of kids in pursuit of a mischievous runaway. As little Luca frisks and frolics his way through the Karoo veld and farmsteads, young readers see the world of wool in action: sheepdogs rounding up the flock, shearers skilfully shaving fluffy sheep, handsome stud rams winning rosettes, crafters spinning yarn. . . all the way to a fancy fashion show of wacky woollen outfits.
Peppered throughout the story are snippets of information for curious youngsters: How fast can you shear a sheep? How many socks do you get from one fleece? How clever is a sheepdog?
This comical, colourful tale is richly illustrated and proudly South African. The reading level aligns with the National Curriculum’s Foundation Phase CAPS (English and Life Skills), though younger children will also enjoy the story, visuals and humour.
