New Book: The Great Sheep Shenanigans (Andersen Press Picture Books) by Peter Bently (Author), Mei Matsuoka (Illustrator)



The Great Sheep Shenanigans (Andersen Press Picture Books) by Peter Bently (Author), Mei Matsuoka (Illustrator) is shipping from Amazon although it has an April release date. It was released in the UK last year, so the release date isn't too firm. I haven't read it yet but I am curious about it and it has been nominated for the Kate Greenaway Award which is always a bonus, too.



This one looked like fun but I can't find many illustrations to share. However, the publisher's site and Matsuoka's blog have Sheep Pom Pom images and instructions which are charming so I decided to share those instead.

Book description:

A lamb for my supper will taste mighty fine!" thought a wily old wolf by the name of Lou Pine. Poor Lou! In this fractured fairy tale, the wolf is stopped at the hedge by the flock's protector, Rambo the Ram. So Lou sets off to find a disguise that will let him sneak into the flock. He tries a fuzzy bathrobe, paint, and even cotton candy, but nothing works out. Can he scare Red Riding Hood's grandmother into knitting him a costume? Or will she—like everyone else—be able to thwart the wolf's plans?
