[32 pp.] This book contains the first published illustrations by Evaline Ness, who later won the 1967 Caldecott Medal. From the jacket: 'Here comes Ophelia, the most blithely naughty lamb ever to prance through an adventure with a wicked fox. In spite of frequent warnings, Ophelia would sneak off to the alluring depths of the woods, and naturally she attracted the attention of a hungry red fox. The ensuing chase will enthrall small readers, who will also lose their hearts completely to Farmer Flounce, Mr. Prize Ram Sheep, Ophelia's big bird friend, her smugly obedient brothers and sisters, and - most of all - to the rollicking Ophelia. Mary Gibbons and Evaline Ness, who originally created Ophelia as writer and artist respectively of the St. Mary's Blankets advertisements, have joined their considerable talents to make their famous lamb the heroine of a very lively picture book.'
