Publisher Description
Following the beloved Sheep in a Jeep, this illustrated children's book follows the rhyming misadventure of zany sheep on a pirate ship.
It's time for bed but the sheep just can't settle down. Never fear, a trusty sheepdog is here to help. But what will it take to get these restless sheep to bed? A hug? A blanket? A drink of water? Will this dedicated collie ever get these bleating sheep to sleep? Perhaps only a daring pirate adventure will do the trick…
From the author and illustrator behind Sheep in a Jeep, this sweet and silly bedtime tale is perfect for reading aloud to a demanding little one who doesn't want to go to bed.
"The spare text is easily mastered by the beginning reader, while adults reading this aloud will appreciate the tongue-twisters and rollicking rhymes."—Publishers Weekly
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The team that delivered the winning and funny Sheep in a Jeep have joined forces again for another irresistible trip in rhyme. The sheep are depicted as pirates, lulled to sleep on a calm green sea, but are awakened as ``Dark clouds form / a sudden storm.'' The boat pitches as ``Winds whip. / Sails rip. / Sheep can't sail / their sagging ship.'' Sheep abandon ship for a raft, dragging their treasure chest along, and drift until ``Land ho! / Not far to go.'' When the dripping sheep finally reach the dock they are ``glad to end their trip.'' The spare text is easily mastered by the beginning reader, while adults reading this aloud will appreciate the tongue-twisters and rollicking rhymes. Apple's softly shaded colored pencil drawings add just the right touch of whimsy. Readers will hear the call of the sea, and wish for another adventure--soon. Ages 2-5.
