Where Is the Green Sheep? by Mem Fox

3.0

---

This book is a great read for a young kid, at least the first few times through (until they learn the ending). The first time through, my son was actually flipping through pages trying to find the green sheep and throwing up his hands when the sheep couldn't be found. The various sheep include props that allow the young listener to draw connections with the real world (for my son, the bath, the kite, the tuba, and the tropical drink). It is a bit long for kids with short attention spans (I'd say about 6 pages too long), but the illustrations are cute and with a little work you can inject some humor into the story.
