A wolf dresses up like a sheep and sneaks in among them undetected (the wolf thinks - illustrations show the sheep are well aware of the threatening intruder in their midst). But when a sheep gives the wolf a bedtime kiss after the wolf reads a story, the wolf flees, unable to eat any sheep. Later, a knock at the door: sheep dressed in wolf's clothing, come to visit! They knew all along (of course). The wolf's thought bubbles visually echo the fluffy sheep.

A fun twist on the wolf and sheep story, where no one gets eaten. Readers must use their visual literacy skills together with the words in the book to get the most out of the story; could be a good read-aloud for K/1st grade.

This was darling. I especially loved the unique illustrations and the end. ( )

A Change of Menu!

The Big Bad Wolf dreams of having sheep for dinner. Join him as he decides the way to do that will be to disguise himself, and to go under cover with the sheep. Through text and pictures, we can track the wolf’s progress.

Convinced he has them all fooled, he thinks he is ready to make his move—only to discover he has had a change of heart.

Children will find the things the wolf does to fit in with the sheep funny. They will really like the ending when they find out how much the wolf was able to fool them!

This delightful picture book is over-sized and hard-backed. Cute illustrations that add more laughs to the story, appear on every page, and are done by the author. The tale can even become a lesson about what it means to be a “wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing.” This 5-star book will be enjoyed by smiling children up to age eight.

Candlewick Publishers has provided Tickmenot with a complimentary copy of, Sheepish (Wolf Under Cover), for the purpose of review. ( )

I really appreciate a picture book that actually lets the pictures carry their part of the story. And this one has a cute and funny tale to tell about a wolf in sheep's clothing. Lots of giggles to be had. ( )
