It was love at first sight. When I met Roberta for the first time, I knew straight away that we belonged together... For a little girl from the city, Roberta the sheep seems like the perfect pet: she's clever, clean and sociable. But city life isn't easy for Roberta - there's the lift to be negotiated, and the supermarket, and Sunday lunch with the family. And even though she adapts well to life in the apartment, the family begin to wonder if Roberta might be pining for something more...This charming story with lots of deadpan humour will strike a chord with parents and children everywhere.
