Where is the Green Sheep? by Mem Fox Illustrated by Judy Horacek

3 stars

Today is the last of the birthdays for our family. Miss G.'s was on Friday and Miss V.'s was today. I felt sort of bad for Miss V as she had to wait to open up her presents. They both got Our Generation dolls and Miss V. wanted hers sooooo badly, especially after seeing Miss G.'s, but we made her wait. What mean parents we are.

Lately I have been reading a lot of board books to help get Miss P. interested in reading. She loves watching Winnie the Pooh and Frozen on the Ipad. But, now I'm trying to broaden her entertainment medium horizons. It is definitely a work in progress. She is a creature of habit and sometimes those habits are very hard to break.

Synopsis

This synopsis was found on the publication information page. It was so succinct and to the point there was no way I could do better.

A story about many different sheep, and one that seems to be missing.

My Thoughts

This was a pretty good book. I'm not over the moon about it but it is definitely one that I could handle reading over and over. Although, always saying "But, where is the green sheep?" can be a bit tedious.

I liked how it showed opposites and had the sheep doing funny things. I would have used some different shades of the colours, for example, the blue sheep could be seen as more of a purple or grey. A more distinct shade would have been nice just for easier colour identification for the kids. The actual picture looks very nice. The red sheep wasn't the most red either, but it wasn't as bad as the blue.

Miss P. really liked the pictures and would point things out like the car, the stars, the moon. She even started baaing with the sheep but after awhile she was done with that.

This is a cute book to while a way your time. I think your kids will like it and you won't feel like knocking yourself unconscious by the end of it, and that's a good thing.
