‘Oh what a beaut it is! … 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 … Brilliant. ‘Just right for toddlers experiencing the basics of life and budding readers learning to complete their sentences by looking at words and pictures together.’ Kirkus Reviews ‘Perfectly attuned to a toddler's sense of playful discovery.’ Horn Book Guide ‘Laughs and interactive play will ensue among readers and listeners.’ Booklist Judy loves drawing things, especially sheep. Mem has never owned a sheep, let alone a green one, but she does admit to having woolly thoughts from time to time. Here is the bath sheep, and here is the bed sheep. Helped in no small part by newcomer Judy Horacek, the book is a deft examination of various sheeplike and unsheeplike activities. Here is the blue sheep, and here is the red sheep. Whatever the case, Ive had the pleasure of reading smartly written sheep books that vary from 'Sheep In a Jeep' by Nancy Shaw to this more recent Mem Fox creation, 'Where is the Green Sheep'. Mem Fox and Judy Horacek take you on a wildly wonderful adventure in their rollicking search for the green sheep in this Australian classic. WINNER OF THE CBCA BOOK OF THE YEAR – EARLY CHILDHOOD
