In their sixth appearance, Shaw's six insouciant sheep bumble their
way through an expedition featuring the usual trials and mishaps of
novice hikers (steep climbs, briars, arguing about the trail, a
bog, getting lost). Each sheep is given a distinctive character in
Apple's disarmingly soft color-pencil illustrations; and Shaw's
deft wordplay should tickle young ears and propel the action
("Trees and bushes soon grow thicker./Where's the trail? Sheep
bicker...Thorns dig. Prickers snag./Sheep zig. Sheep zag"). The
thorns, after all, are some help: After a friendly moose helps
"Sheep climb out of the slime," they find tufts of their own wool
marking their way home. Both preschoolers and newly independent
readers will chortle at the antics of these charmingly silly and
sensible sheep. (Kirkus Reviews)
That fun flock is raring for a rugged hiking adventure. Rapid rhythm, rhyme, and colorful illustrations make this a perfect introduction to poetry.
