A fun, zany tale is created

Bruce Whatley provides fun simple drawings to accompany the tale of an Australian sheep shearer who doesn't have a sheep dog, but a sheep named Pete who speaks politely to the others, Pete and shearer Shaun are good partners - but the other shearers have a gripe, especially when Shaun creatively sheers Pete with a whole new look. A fun, zany tale is created.

Fabulous

This is a wonderful, quirky story with some great characters. Taking on the manly world of sheep-shearing, Pete and Shawn go about it, well, differently, to the delight of the sheep and the sheep dogs, but to the dismay of the rugged old-school shearers. The drawings are perfectly matched to the story line, and kids absolutely love the expressions and the dialogue.

super sheep book

I loved this book! It has a fairly simple story line, and wonderful, light, airy, whimsical illustrations. The expressions are priceless. Best suited for children 4 and up. Super cute.
