Illustrated by Margot Apple. Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, 1986.
Hardcover edition, 32 pages, ISBN 0-395-41105-X.
With only 2-8 rhyming words on each page, Shaw weaves a hilarious tale of sheep on the road. After jubilantly pushing their jeep free from a "gooey" mudhole, the inattentive sheep crash into a tree and total the vehicle. "Sheep weep."
Apple's whimsical colored pencil drawings portray the mayhem in an endearing manner.
The sheep's misadventures continue in a series: Sheep Take a Hike; Sheep Out to Eat; Sheep in a Shop; Sheep on a Ship.
Great for toddler story hour. Available in 26-page regular or lap-sized boardbooks.
