Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1 --The creators of Sheep in a Jeep (1988) and Sheep on a Ship (1989, both Houghton) have produced yet another shear delight. Piggy bank in tow, the fleecy five take a country store by storm in search of a birthday gift for one of their friends. They hit upon just the thing, but find themselves a little short on cash. Luckily they're not short on ingenuity and make a real deal. The simple, yet thoroughly satisfying, story is suitable for young toddlers through emerging readers. The crisp, rhyming sentences that tell the tale with economy and humor are enormously enhanced by Apple's wonderfully detailed colored pencil drawings. There's nothing sheepish about these lambs; they're energetic, expressive, and completely disarming. A rambunctious romp; let's hope there are more in store.

    This is such an adorable “Sheep” book and is one of our favorites! It’s perfect for a birthday party, as the sheep are shopping for birthday presents and arrive at the party at the end. It’s adorable and was perfect for our two year Old’s birthday!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Solving Problems only in a way Sheep could Solve them!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2014

    This cute little board book is one of a little series about these sheep. My first Nancy Shaw book was Sheep on a Ship, and it was beautifully illustrated, poetic and rythmic. I fell in love with these sheep books; I also have Sheep in a Jeep and Sheep Trick or Treat. I would like to get Sheep out to Eat and Sheep Take a Hike. Sheep in a Shop is one of the most memorable ones, with sheep flying planes from one page to another. As you watch sheep shop awkwardly for a birthday present, they get to the register and there is a problem! They solve the problem only a way sheep could solve the problem, and they go to the party in uplifted spirits. It is fun to sit with my son and find the mice on the pages too. There is a mouse on almost every page to find. In Sheep on a Ship, it is a seagull.

    Another terrific installment of the Sheep In A Jeep series. The first book was a favorite of both of my kids when they were little, and I went looking for it as a birthday gift for another family member. Delighted to find that there are more! Bright cheery pictures, and the simple story is amusing for parents and engaging for toddlers, who will be reciting it along with you after just a few readings.

    My son LOVES the Sheep books. They're easy to read along with and the sheep are always pulling crazy antics. We started with Sheep in a Jeep and are one by one buying the rest because he loves them so much. He says "the sheep are soooo funny!" The rhyming verses are great and the sheep are always problem-solving (although sometimes their attempts are misguided). Great books for toddlers & preschoolers.

    Sheeps go to the shop to buy some things for a birthday party. The pick what they want and finally do a barter system and exchange wool for the goods when they don't have enough money to pay for it.
    Nice simple board book. Very suitable for smaller children. The illustrations are lively and nice too! I would recommend for children below 3 years old. Good cheerful story

    Of the sheep books, this is our favourite! The rhyming is great and the illustrations are so funny, when was the last time you saw a tattoo on anyone in a children's board book? (Check the pig's shoulder as they help the sheep out of the mud.)
