Where is the Green Sheep?

Author: Mem FoxIllustrator: Judy Horacek

This bestselling Australian classic is now available for the first time in the UK. And oh what a beaut it is! The covers show sheep dancing down a flowery meadow, all with the greatest of grins, obviously up for some fun. The search is on for the green sheep. We spot ‘a blue sheep, and a red sheep, a bath sheep and a bed sheep… but where is the green sheep?’ Cunningly worked rhyming words make it a delight to read aloud, sharing with a very young reader who will want to return again and again to the story. And that young child will quickly be reading Horacek’s wacky pictures accurately. The illustrations are drawn with pen and watercolour, and add much to the text. But where IS the green sheep? AHA, you will have to find a copy to find out.  This classic from Down Under should become a hot favourite in our schools, nurseries, libraries and homes. Brilliant.
