Description

“Shaw demonstrates a promising capacity for creating nonsense rhymes. . . . Apple’s whimsical portraits of the sheep bring the story to life. Pleasing and lighthearted, this has much appeal for young readers.” —Publishers Weekly

“The bright-colored pencil drawings and lean text make this a great choice for preschool storytimes, in addition to for beginning readers who want a funny story.”

—School Library Journal

Out for a drive in the country, Nancy Shaw and Margot Apple’s well-known and beloved sheep run into some mishaps with their sturdy red jeep.

“Beep! Beep! Sheep in a jeep on a hill that’s steep.”

This story, much like the jeep, gathers momentum from page one. When five foolish sheep cram into one jeep, their high spirits and occasional lack of foresight (like forgetting to steer) combine to make a riotous, if sick-fated, road go back and forth. Plummeting over a hill, tumbling into a mud puddle, yelping for lend a hand, these muttonheads just cannot get their act together, much to the delight of young readers.

Nancy Shaw’s Seussian rhymes are guaranteed to tickle each reader’s funny bone, whilst providing a great little learning tool, as well. Who wouldn’t wish to discover ways to read, after hearing lines like this: “Jeep goes splash! Jeep goes thud! Jeep goes deep in gooey mud!” Well-loved illustrator Margot Apple humorously captures the dopey expressions and preposterous predicaments of Shaw’s sheep. More wild and woolly misadventures may also be found in any of Shaw and Apple’s other sheepish titles, including Sheep on a Ship and Sheep Take a Hike. (Ages 2 to 7) –Emilie Coulter
