Sheep Dog and Sheep Sheep

An accidental-friendship story packed with humor from author-illustrator Eric Barclay

Sheep is an expert at protecting sheep—or so she thinks until one happy afternoon when she bumps into a very hairy someone on the farm.

“Who are you?” she asks.

“I’m the sheep dog!” the someone says. “I watch the sheep.”

Holy begonia! Sheep knows this can’t be right. After all, she’s the pro! So Sheep goes off to get everything Sheep Dog needs to get the job done, but each time she goes, something almost happens to Sheep…

And it's Sheep Dog who saves the day!

For fans of Goodnight Already! by Jory John, You Will Be My Friend! by Peter Brown, and Little Blue Truck by Alice Schertle, this hilarious and tender friendship story proves that even the best watchers must look out for one another. |

‘‘WHO ARE YOU?’’

Sheep asks when she bumps right into a very hairy someone.

“I’m the sheep dog!” the someone says. “I watch the sheep.”

Holy begonia!

Wait one minute!

Isn’t Sheep the sheep expert?

Of course she is. In fact, she’s the one who should show the sheep dog exactly what he needs to do to get the job done.

With lots of humor and the perfect amount of irony, Sheep Dog and Sheep Sheep follows an accidental friendship that is irresistible from the first page.
