(More customer reviews)Hildegarde is an Ewe, who is tired of the boring green shirts that she makes every day. She reminds us that the world is full of color and we should embrase it. My children and I enjoy the book and can't wait for the next one. Thank you for the wonderful pictures and story.

The irrepressible Hildegarde, an ambitious and creative sheep, is introduced to young readers in this wacky, vividly illustrated book about the forces of conformity and individual expression. The domineering Mr. Arno, the boss of the Great Green Shirt Factory, shuns employee Hildegarde when she attempts to revolutionize his production line with some variations to the identical green shirts. What's an enterprising ewe to do? In a series of increasingly wacky events, she turns herself into a nocturnal fashion designer whose expertise ultimately leads to an over-the-top fashion show on the factory floor and a showdown with the narrow-minded Mr. Arno himself. The book's sparkling prose and engaging heroine make it a favorite for young readers, and the strong "girl power" theme appeals to children of both sexes by emphasizing the importance of friendship and solidarity against the forces of censorship.
