[.ca] Sheep Out to Eat (ISBN 0395720273)

Good book:
The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that my husband and duaghters don't seem to like it as much as Sheep in a Jeep. I found it charming, well illustrated and well told. I was disappointed that it was a paperback and not a board book. I might not have bought it if I had realized that because my daughters are a bit rough on books.

to thine own self be true:
This is probably my #2 pick of the Shaw/Apple sheep series (Sheep in a Jeep is my clear #1 pick, and that of most of the toddlers I know.) This one has the most apparent message, which is both a positive (because I like the message) and a distraction from the silly fun of the sheep. It's definitely worth geeting and reading mre than one of the sheep books, in part so you can learn the distinct personalities of the various sheep.

LIKE SHEEP IN A CHINA SHOP:
I love those funny sheep and the clever illustrations that accompany their humorous verse. This time, the jeep loving joy riding sheep are back in a tea shop and that tea shop will never be the same! The verse is one all ages will appreciate. The story moves along fast enough to maintain the interest of pre-schoolers. The adorable sheep and the very funny story will certainly delight all readers.

very cute, fun to read aloud:
This is my favorite of the sheep books, with sheep in a jeep ranking close behind. The rhymes are simple and fun to read aloud. The vocabulary is challenging for a preschooler. The illustrations are clever. However, I pick it to read aloud more often than my daughter does.

charming--great fun:
I bought this book for my 18-month old. It's still a bit beyond her--she's still very into the lift-and-peek books. From mommy's perspective, however, I can say that this is one of the most inventive, clever stories I've read. The illustrations of the disgusted kitties make me laugh out loud every time I read the book, and the rhymes are sweet and funny.
