Sheep Out to Eat

Everyone knows that, while it's perfectly all right for cast to eat in tea shops, sheep certainly shouldn't. This rather bizarre rhyme tells of five sheep who simply can't cope with the social demands of eating out at the Tiddley Wink Teashop and who end up perfectly happy once they return to their proper place - eating on the lawn outside. The pictures are jolly and the text, one line to a page, is full of alliteration and interesting words. However, you'll have guessed that I'm not at all sure about the message - which seems to be that sheep should know their place and not try to get above themselves. Or perhaps it's more positive than that, and simply wants us to realise that grass eaters are as good as tea drinkers any day. An interestin debate for observers of animal social issues.
