Editorial Review:

Product Description:
A flock of hapless sheep drive through the country in this rhyming picture book. This Read-Along Book and CD Favorite includes a paperback edition of the book and a compact disc in a newly designed reusable package.

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




Rating: - Perfect for the little book worm.
My daughter thought this was such a cute rhyming book! Super for young kids with great illustration!

Rating: - I have a Jeep.
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.

Rating: - Win-Win Proposition
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.

Rating: - I love this book
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.

Rating: - Toddler's delight
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.
