We have a sheep who thinks he is a sheep dog. We have a sheep dog who knows the truth but there is no reasoning with said sheep.

As you might imagine, this book is hilarious. I did it with older audiences (predominantly Kindergarten) and they LOVED it. Like LOVED it. Sheep is oblivious to all of the dangers they believe to be protecting the sheep dog from....but who do you think does the actual protecting ;)

I think the illustrations are what takes "Sheep Dog and Sheep Sheep" to a whole new dimension. They are vibrant with a dash of personality. Sheep's expressions are ones of naivety; Sheep Dog is clearly not amused.

Enjoy some laughs as you read this book! ( )

Sheep is a sheep. And Dog is a Sheep Dog, whose job it is to watch the sheep. Sheep helps Dog do a better job by tying his hair up out of his eyes, getting him a map and binoculars...but then she looks around for the sheep and realizes she's the only one! So maybe she's a Dog Sheep, whose job it is to watch the Sheep Dog?

The story of two friends who watch out for each other.

Sheep has always protected the farm until one day she meets this hairy thing that says it is a Sheep Dog and it is there to protect the Sheep! In this humorous story, Sheep goes in search of things that will help Sheep Dog protect the Sheep as well as she does. The only problem is that she is the one that needs protecting and must be rescued by Sheep Dog more than once. I would recommend this for any collection. The illustrations are colorful and humorous and children will love to predict what is going to happen as the story unfolds. ( )
