Ramesh has a very important job in the Lal Bagh, a beautiful park in India: he keeps the grass neatly trimmed, nibbling it into wonderful patterns as he goes. But when the city decides that a modern lawn mower can do his job instead, Ramesh quietly disappears—and everyone soon realizes just how much they miss their woolly friend.
Published in 1967 and illustrated by Lionel Kalish, this wonderfully unusual vintage picture book is a warm and funny tale about progress, community, and the things a machine simply can’t replace.
