The Golden Months of Ram Merino

Robert W. Pomeroy

Description

Yarn, a sheep, explains the twelve months of the year to his flock in The Golden Months of Ram Merino. Set in a medieval world shared by friendly animals and a small band of knights, each month is introduced by a full-page illustration followed by a description of the actions pictured. An impatient fox, who hurries from one month to the next, learns a valuable lesson by year's end. For his part, Ram Merino himself can only sigh: "My goodness, how much wool we gather in a year!"

The Golden Months of Ram Merino encourages children to discover their own imaginary worlds by exploring works of art, then drawing or writing their own story about what they have seen.

It’s time to learn the names of months,” began that young but wise sheep Yarn. He hoped his cousins would listen for once. Unfortunately, lambs prefer fresh grass and daydreams to learning. Yarn’s words drifted past their ears, disappearing with the summer breeze.
At last, a perplexed cousin, swallowing some well-chewed clover, asked: “What’s a month?”
“Uncle Ram Merino explained months,” Yarn chided, “but you weren’t paying attention.”
“Why, is uncle some kind of king we have to obey?” the lamb wondered. “Is that why he lives way off at the end of the pasture?”
