Sheep Trick or Treat Board Book

Good limited basic vocabulary text with charming illustrations. Bought for my granddaughter who is currently enamoured with sheep to hear now and read later.

This writing team of Shaw and Apple have given us another winner in every way. Let me start by stating that I very much do not agree with the assessment and opinion here from the School Library Journal. This journal, while usually so much more accurate than Publisher's Weekly, sort of missed the mark with this one. Perhaps it is just a matter of preception, we all see things a bit differently. For myself, and the kids I read this one to, there is not much to not like about this book. Yes, the illustrations are a bit darker that is normal for this series, but the for goodness sakes, it Halloween, it's suppose to be dark! The rhyming text is as delightful here as in the other books of this series and the kids do all seem to love it and it certainly holds thier attention. There is so much junk out there in the way of Halloween books, it is a delight to find one so readable as this offering. This is a great one to add to your library. I dare say, you and your kids will love it.

Oh, I so disagree with the Editoral on this book! The writing has a wonderful rhythm, and I love reading it aloud! The situation is absurd, which makes for a hilarious book, plus the illustrations are first-rate. The facial expressions are so human-like, they make us laugh. There is nothing frightening about this book. In fact, the scariest scene is the front cover with the lamb posing as a vampire. Sheep Trick or Treat is a short book and can be read in less than 2-minutes, but it usually takes us longer because we love the illustrations so. I think it's a WINNER, and one I highly recommend over other not-so-good holiday works!

Sheep trick or treat was my second sheep book! Great for Halloween reading or just any time! The rhymes are catchy and the story is so cute. A must have for anyone who likes the sheep books, or anyone who has never read them!

A fun book that has many words that rhyme. If is fairly challenging and exciting for a beginning reader.
