Sheila comments on her neighbors' energy-saving habits, like using a wood stove in the winter and drying clothes on a clothesline instead of in the dryer, but she likes their home-grown fruits and vegetables and enjoys making popcorn on the wood stove with them.

Although its heart it definitely in the right place, I have to agree with those reviewers who found Sheila Says We're Weird just a little too didactic. It's less of a story, really, than a series of vignettes, in which the narrator's family does something atypically sustainable in nature, and Sheila chimes in with her "that's weird" comment. Something with more narrative and character development - an argument between Sheila and Tina, perhaps, with subsequent rapprochement - probably would have worked better, communicating the same ideals in a less preachy way. Still, this wasn't unbearably preachy (or perhaps I just feel that way because I'm on board with the message?), and the colorful artwork by Jennifer Emery was engaging and expressive. Recommended to those looking for children's picture-books that address issues of sustainable, green living. ( )
