Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1 --The creators of Sheep in a Jeep (1988) and Sheep on a Ship (1989, both Houghton) have produced yet another shear delight. Piggy bank in tow, the fleecy five take a country store by storm in search of a birthday gift for one of their friends. They hit upon just the thing, but find themselves a little short on cash. Luckily they're not short on ingenuity and make a real deal. The simple, yet thoroughly satisfying, story is suitable for young toddlers through emerging readers. The crisp, rhyming sentences that tell the tale with economy and humor are enormously enhanced by Apple's wonderfully detailed colored pencil drawings. There's nothing sheepish about these lambs; they're energetic, expressive, and completely disarming. A rambunctious romp; let's hope there are more in store.

Entertaining, though not as wonderful as "Sheep in a Jeep",

This review is from: Sheep in a Shop (Board book)
I absolutely adore Nancy Shaw's other boardbook "Sheep in a Jeep", and for months now my 10 month old has laughed aloud every time anyone says, "Beep! Beep! Sheep in a Jeep...", so I really looked forward to getting him "Ship in a Shop"... On the one hand, it's very cute, and the illustrations are utterly endearing with lots of color and detail, but on the other hand it lacks some of the rhythm and rhyme of Jeep which put it so high above the level of other boardbooks. It's cute and clever -- really an excellent book -- but Jeep had raised the bar so high, I suppose it was difficult to measure up.But it's still a lovely little book, and certainly worth owning.

We got a copy after enjoying Sheep in a Jeep. I actually like this one better than Sheep in a Jeep because the sheep end up being resourceful rather than just reckless.

Wonderful!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sheep in a Shop (Sandpiper Book) (Paperback)
My sister-in-law bought this book for my daughter because her sons liked it so much. My daughter loves it too. At age 22 months, this is her favourite bedtime book. She will hunt for it rather than have me read another book. She is beginning to like "Sheep go out to Eat" almost as much. (She calls it "Sheep Soup".) She does not seem terribly interested so far in "Sheep in a Jeep". She gets very excited every time we get to the bit where the stack of beach balls falls down, shouting "Uh oh!", and she understands that the story is about shopping for a birthday present because she will sing "Happy Birthday" if she is turning the pages on her own.
