The Derby Ram

The Derby Ram, skillfully adapted by John Feierabend and brilliantly illustrated by Jackie Roche is a delightful tall tale and children's folksong. "The Derby Ram" is a widely known song referring to an oversized ram in the town of Derby (pronounced Darby), England. The tall tales grow as enormous as the ram itself as the song goes on, each tale separated by a short refrain. Gorgeous illustrations by Jackie Roche invite children to use their imaginations to invent still more wild tales about the colossal Derby Ram.

The fully notated song with lyrics is included in the book along with a brief history of it and directions on downloading a free recording of the song.
