Pirate sheep who lose their boat in a storm manage to make a raft out of the ship and sail away. My 3 year old is always concerned that the sheep are all right. While this book is not as funny as Sheep in a Jeep, my son asks to have this book read to him again and again. The Sheep books are a treasure. The rhymes and alliteration combined with terrific illustrations make this book a wonderful addition to any child's bookshelf. Highly recommended.

I guess I like the "Sheep in a Jeep" and "Sheep Out to Eat" books a little better than this one. Maybe I've just grown a little tired of them? I wish I could have given it 3.5 stars. I would give the others in the series a 4.

The sheep are back in their second full-length book! This time they're in a ship. A bad storm catches them by surprise, "Decks tip. Sheep Slide. Sheep collide. Winds whip. Sails rip." That is just a taste of the book. If you like Sheep in a jeep, you're going to love, Sheep in a Ship!

Nancy Shaw sheep books are fun to read to your child and are great books to buy as a gift.I sent a set to my nieces and they loved them!!!

This is not our son's favorite "Sheep" book, but he enjoys it nonetheless. Highly recommended if you enjoy Nancy Shaw's other Sheep books.

This series is full of easy rhymes. It makes a great early reader, as well as a great read-aloud for a younger preschooler or toddler.

In this one, the hapless sheep decide to go sailing like pirates! Cool, right?

Unfortunately, they're trapped in a sudden storm. It's all very exciting (and rhyme-y), but they get through it safely in the end.

Great series for early childhood. Good basic rhyming vocabulary clearly illustrated with humorous characters. Good to read to now and read alone later.

Wish you knew the "fail safe classics"? The sheep books are IT!

I have loved the book Sheep Out Eat by Nancy Shaw since I was little and my Mom read it to me, so a few years ago when I found this book in a store I was very exicited. This book is cute and funny and even though I am 14 I still love to read it!

The book "Sheep on a ship" is about some sheep that try to sail. The book shows you what happens when sheep try to sail. The sheep have a rough ride but in the end everything looks up for them. The story really doesn't have a lesson except that you shouldn't let your sheep try to sail. I don't think everybody could read this story; it should be read to kids the age of one to two.
