Sheep in a Jeep

Beep! Beep! Sheep in a jeep on a hill that’s steep. Sheep in a Jeep is well-loved by the preschool and early-reader sets for its slapstick story of five sheep (in a jeep) and silly sound effects—especially when the jeep goes splash and thud in the mud! Nancy Shaw’s rollicking rhymes are Seuss-snappy, and Margot Apple’s appealing pencil illustrations are expressive and hilarious. Shear delight. Don’t miss Shaw and Apple’s other sheep-heaped titles: Sheep in a Shop, Sheep on a Ship, Sheep Out to Eat, Sheep Trick or Treat, Sheep Blast Off, and Sheep Take a Hike.

Records the misadventures of a group of sheep that go riding in a jeep.

A flock of hapless sheep drive through the country in this rhyming picture book. "The bright-colored pencil drawings and lean text make this a great choice for preschool storytimes, as well as for beginning readers who want a funny story." (School Library Journal)
