A Ovelhinha Perdida | Baa Goes Missing
"A Ovelhinha Perdida | Baa Goes Missing", by Teresa Dangerfield — the story of Amélia and her plush lamb, Bá.
Synopsis
- Little Amélia is visiting her grandmother in a small town.
- After an afternoon of lots of play in a park, without anyone noticing — while she, her mother and her grandmother run from the rain — she loses a plush lamb, her inseparable Bá.
- Someone finds it, completely soaked, and makes every possible effort to find its owner. All this gives rise to a series of mishaps. Amélia lives in a city and ends up going back without her little lamb.
- Will there be a happy ending?
- Will Amélia and Bá be reunited?
