Review
Written in the format of school report by Gus for Ms. Smolinski, this humorous book will be a read-aloud favorite. With large pages and clear, crisp, colorful illustrations by Bliss, the report starts off with proper factual information about sheep, but then quickly devolves into all of the things that sheep are NOT good for or what you should NOT do with sheep. Some familiarity with sarcastic tone and irony will make this an even better read.
Overall Book Score: excellent
