Sheep on a Ship

By Nancy Shaw and Margot Apple

Following the beloved Sheep in a Jeep, this illustrated children’s book follows the rhyming misadventure of zany sheep on a pirate ship.

It's time for bed but the sheep just can't settle down. Never fear, a trusty sheepdog is here to help. But what will it take to get these restless sheep to bed? A hug? A blanket? A drink of water? Will this dedicated collie ever get these bleating sheep to sleep? Perhaps only a daring pirate adventure will do the trick…

From the author and illustrator behind Sheep in a Jeep, this sweet and silly bedtime tale is perfect for reading aloud to a demanding little one who doesn’t want to go to bed.

“The spare text is easily mastered by the beginning reader, while adults reading this aloud will appreciate the tongue-twisters and rollicking rhymes.”—Publishers Weekly

Reviews for Sheep on a Ship

[conuly · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Very cute, funny series of books here :)These books are full of easy rhymes. It makes a great early reader, as well as a great read-aloud for a younger preschooler or toddler. In this book, the hapless sheep decide to go sailing like pirates! Cool, right?Unfortunately, they're trapped in a sudden storm. It's all very exciting (and rhyme-y), but they get through it safely in the end.
