Review:
Baa Baa Smart Sheep is a fantastic book for any mischievous children - and adults too.

The story follows Little Baa Baa, a young sheep who is bored. Along comes Quirky Turkey and, to relieve the boredom, Little Baa Baa decides to have some fun. Over the course of the book, Little Baa Baa persuades Quirky Turkey to try some Smarty Tablets…but they’re not really tablets at all.

The book follows the characters’ conversation so it’s a good story to read using different voices for each character. The illustrations are subtle but convey a lot through the characters’ expressions. My 4 year old son adores this book and it’s one he regularly trots out for visitors to read to him – resulting in lots of laughter.
