Baa Baa Smart Sheep

Little Baa Baa is bored, so when Quirky Turkey arrives on the scene, the opportunity to make some mischief proves too hard to resist.

“What’s that?” asks Turkey, pointing at a suspicious something on the ground.
“What’s what?”
“That there.”
“This here?”
“Yes, that there.”
“Oh, it’s just a pile of . . . smarty tablets.”
“Ohhh. . .”

After a well-sustained buildup evoking hilarity and disbelief, this kid-pleasing trickster tale will have readers both groaning and laughing out loud at the payoff.

With snappy dialogue and hilarious illustrations, Baa Baa Smart Sheep is a laugh-out-loud story that will leave you thinking sheep aren’t as stupid as we might think.

Written by Mark Sommerset and illustrated by Rowan Sommerset
