Product Description
What could be better than a misadventure from that rambunctious flock of sheep in board-book form? Two! Now sized perfectly for even the smallest hands, two of Nancy Shaw and Margot Apple's enchanting titles from their sheep series are board books. In Sheep in a Jeep, the hapless flock goes for a drive in the country. In Sheep in a Shop, the sheep are off to the store in search of the perfect birthday gift. With these muttonheads, a normal outing is sure to turn into a joyous lark. Rhyming text and disarming illustrations make these shear delights!
Amazon.com Review
"Beep! Beep! Sheep in a jeep on a hill that's steep." This story, much like the jeep, gathers momentum from page one. When five foolish sheep cram into one jeep, their high spirits and occasional lack of foresight (like forgetting to steer) combine to make a riotous, if ill-fated, road trip. Plummeting over a hill, tumbling into a mud puddle, yelping for help, these muttonheads just can't get their act together, much to the delight of young readers. Nancy Shaw's Seussian rhymes are guaranteed to tickle every reader's funny bone, while providing a great little learning tool, as well. Who wouldn't want to learn how to read, after hearing lines like this: "Jeep goes splash! Jeep goes thud! Jeep goes deep in gooey mud!" Well-loved illustrator Margot Apple humorously captures the dopey expressions and preposterous predicaments of Shaw's sheep. More wild and woolly misadventures can be found in any of Shaw and Apple's other sheepish titles, including Sheep on a Ship and Sheep Take a Hike. (Ages 2 to 7) --Emilie Coulter

I have a Jeep., 2008-12-01
This is a great book. It has everything: cars, hills, suspense, sheep, pigs, a bird and cleaning up. Since it is a board book, I can look at it myself with no help. I can also chew the pages with no help. I am good at chewing pages, two teeth is enough for that.

Win-Win Proposition, 2008-11-26
I have given Sheep books to almost all of the children that I have known since I first happened across the book. Not only do they like it, but it is amusing to the reader, as well. This is truly classic literature.

I love this book, 2008-11-23
I am 9 months old and I have been reading this book since I was very little and I love it. Mommy likes it too, because there is knitting in it.
I ate the cover.

Toddler's delight, 2008-11-20
What makes Sheep in a Jeep such a delight to read is its unabashed use of onomatopoeia. Indeed, some of my daughter's first words were "splash" and "thud" as she recited along this favorite story.
With every page Shaw's vivid vocabulary comes alive in perfectly-metered rhyme, adeptly complimented by Apple's whimsical illustrations. In a format just long enough to delight, and short enough to entertain, it's little wonder Sheep in a Jeep has been such a longstanding favorite.
I can't recommend it highly enough for your own little ones, and it makes a great baby shower gift inclusion!

Great rhyme book!, 2008-10-17
This is a great rhyming book with sight words. A wonderfully illustrated board book that is great for kids...especially those with parents who own Jeeps.
