Clear, comic and ending on a hopeful note' Guardian 'Animal Farm for our times... a little island of sanity in the rising tide of insanity around us' Axel Scheffler, illustrator of The Gruffalo 'An allegory with a 'better together' theme' Sunday Times, Best Children's Books of 2019 'An elegantly written fable about division, with serious soul.'

Have you ever wondered how sheep's milk turns into cheese? Or the steps for shearing a sheep, and how sheep wool is processed, from washing, carding, and combing to spinning and dyeing in order to make yarn for knitting? These and other intriguing and engaging facts about sheep can be found in Sheepology, a visual encyclopedia and follow-up to Chickenology and Pigology.
