Read This Review

Agnes the sheep is a very good book. I am very glad I read it to myself rather than reading it to a parent. The reason is that it has lots of cuss words, and I mean lots! I would recommend you read the book. It's a very good book. Agnes the Sheep is about an old lady named Mrs. Carpenter. Anyways, these kids get assigned an old person to take care of for a week. About a day after they were assigned to Mrs. Carpenter, she died. But before she died she said for the kids to take care of her pet sheep Agnes. Agnes is very vicious and stubborn. When some of Mrs. Carpenter's relatives show up and try to take Agnes away, but you know Agnes, she didn't let them! So when the relatives finally gave up the two kids gave Agnes to one of their best-grown up friends and then she gained full custody of Agnes the Sheep!

A funny book

Belinda and Joe, two feuding classmates, become unlikely allies when they are named caretakers of a sheep. Not just any sheep, but a hulking, obstinate sheep named Agnes. It all begins when they are assigned to visit a local "pioneer." Bored at first with the assignment, they soon find that the life of Mrs. Carpenter was anything but ordinary. In the often-humorous episodes that follow, everyone learns a little about life.This 1991 Esther Glen Award winner alternates between pleasant and disturbing events to keep the reader guessing. Just when the book is almost finished, the author adds some surprises to the ending. The fate of Agnes might be unsettling to people (especially children) who love animals, but the book overall is enjoyable.
