| Summary | "The Story of a Lamb on Wheels" by Laura Lee Hope is a children's story written in the early 20th century. This enchanting tale revolves around a toy lamb, the central character, who embarks on a whimsical journey filled with adventures. The book captures the playful world of toys coming to life when human eyes are not watching, showcasing their desires and challenges in seeking a loving home. The narrative follows the Lamb on Wheels as she wishes for a kind child to adopt her, much like her friend, the Sawdust Doll. After being purchased by a jovial sailor, she fears imminent seasickness as he prepares to take her on an ocean trip. However, fate intervenes when she is inadvertently rolled down a coal hole and later found by children who mistake her for a real lamb. She experiences a series of delightful yet perilous escapades, including sailing down a brook on a raft. Ultimately, the Lamb is reunited with her beloved owner, Mirabell, bringing a heartwarming conclusion to her eventful story.
