Connie's review: Very short, very rhyme-y. Good for children learning to sound things out, or learning to speak, because there are only a few short sentences per page. It's a very calming story, too, so it works well for naptime. Because it features a birthday at the end, it's also a good gift for

a one or two year old child. Because it was printed in Britain some of the usages are odd to American ears, but nothing confusing - shop where we'd use store, that sort of thing.

This book helps students if they are currently learning about rhythms. Teachers could read this to show what a rhythm is.

The sheep are in a shop to buy a Birthday gift. The sheep find the
perfect gift. Uh-oh, they do not have enough funds to buy the gift.
Instead of trying to buy a more cost effective gift, they sold their
prized possession, wool. I honestly thought they were going to sell their hats because I would

This book tells a entertaining rhyming story. The story is a good why
to teach children how to rhyme and some phonics sounds.
I enjoyed the way the illustrations are colored. The book looks like
a child(neatly) colored the pictures. If I was a child, I would be drawn
to the book because of the way it is colored. The book looks like a
coloring book. I only regret that the colors are not vivid.
Readers should look closely in the story. There is a cute little mouse
in the shop. Also notice how realistic the piggy bank apears.
The book teaches a lesson a important life lesson: Sometimes we have
to make scacrifice for the things we want in life(the sheep sold
their wool for a Birthday present).

1. The teacher can read the story and have the students to write a
list of the words they heard that rhyme
2. The students can write their own mini rhyming story.

Good Birthday or September read about sheep who go shopping. Okay art. Very short book.
LibraryThing member booschnoo
This book is a good example of fantasy because it has sheep getting ready for a birthday party by shopping. It brings the reader into a world that is believable, yet impossible.
The plot of this book is very straightforward, however, there is an unpredictability that would keep younger readers

Sheep in a Shop is a short book for beginning readers. I enjoyed this book very much because it is a fun read and has elements that help young children practice new reading skills. One reason I enjoyed this book was for its rhyme scheme. Every line rhymes with the line before it, which helps young

children with phonics. For example, one page reads, “Sheep find rockets. Sheep find jackets full of pockets.” Another reason I enjoyed this book is due to its repetition. Every line in this book starts with the word “sheep.” By reading lines like “Sheep find blocks. Sheep wind clocks,” students can practice recognizing and reading the digraph “sh.” The main idea of this book is buying birthday presents. Throughout the book the sheep are trying to pick out the perfect birthday present for their fellow sheep. Overall these elements are perfect for beginning readers and the cute illustrations go well with the content. Show Less
