I like Anne because she's kind. I like all of them because they are adventurous. I liked that they helped the sheep. I would recommend it to others

It was good because the sheep was brave and the story was quite exciting. The famous five saved the sheep which was very kind. The dog was my favourite character.

They helped the lamb by risking their lives. I loved that attitude. They could have not rescued it but they did that is kind.

1 I thought the story did not flow all the way through the book but it was adventurous. My favourite person was Anne. I would recommend it to early readers.
Senorita Majorca O’Doughnut 22.12.2022
I liked Anne because she helped pull George and Dick in and she helped dry the lamb and keep her warm. The dog fetched the former for help. Anne and Julian were helpful by carrying up the food.
