“Young Mary had a little lamb.
His name was Sheppard sheep,
And everywhere that Mary went
That sheep was sure to sleep.”
This is not your average Mother Goose nursery rhyme. In this hilarious parody, poor Mary has one very sleepy, slumbering, snoozing sheep named Sheppard and Mary’s mom is not happy.
Can Mary can keep her sleepy sheep awake?
Young readers will laugh along at Mary’s zany attempts, as she tries everything from spicy-hot fiestas to water fights. The humor is fast and fun in this easy to read rhyming adventure.
Mary Had a Sleepy Sheep by Julia Dweck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was so honored to get to read this book, and it was an absolute delight from the beginning right through the end. I couldn’t help but smile as I read the charming and sweet story. I don’t usually take such delectation in children’s books, but this is an exception. She has taken a well-known child’s poem and completely reinvented it. In addition to that, she has added in some special extras. She has included the history of the original Mary and her lamb as well as some great activity pages and sites for the kids. I highly recommend getting a hard copy of this book–your kids will thank you later!
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
