One Smart Sheep by Gary D. Schmidt & Elizabeth Stickney illustrated by Jane Manning

 Mr. Schmidt and his late-wife, Elizabeth, wrote this book together before she passed away.

Abigail Atwood is a sheep farmer who loves the quiet. Her neighbor, Jeremiah Jefferson, loves to tinker. . .which produces noise. He also thinks sheep are rather stupid. When Wilson, the friendliest, wooliest and smartest sheep escapes, Abigail and Jeremiah join forces to find him and to bring him home.

The short chapters with full-page illustrations will appeal to transitional readers who are building stamina and confidence.

*Highly recommend for transitional or struggling readers. Toddlers and preschoolers who are advanced in their ability to listen to a story would love this book as a read aloud.

-Borrowed from the library.
