Sheep School

Feb 9th, 2010 by Alicia

We’re in a bit of a sheepish mood here lately, with all this Shaun the Sheep business. I posted a link to a fun Shaun site the other day and Daryl has found even more. I’ve been putting Shaun stuff up over at the Magical Childhood blog too, and now Daryl sent me this fun site where you test your reaction time by shooting tranquilizer darts at fleeing sheep! Poor sheep! But it’s awfully fun!

I also happened upon a rather ghastly photo of a sheep born (stillborn) with a human face. Shudder. That’s not at all in keeping with the type of sheep school I’m in the mood for!

Risa also recommended “Sheep in a Jeep” and I’d forgotten that book. I also want to order “Russell the Sheep” from interlibrary loan.

Any other sheep-related recommendations?

I bought an awesome resource from the sale table at the library last week, a giant reference book for kids’ picture books, arranged by topic. I just looked under “Animals–Sheep” and have a list of just over 100 books. I’ll find a way to pass the info on.

I posted some pics of the sheep entry on my blog–hope you can make them out (the print is SMALL) and that they provide you with some fun reading time.
