"A fun-filled picture book, The Sheep in Wolf's Clothing is a topsy-turvy take on the cautionary tale for young children."

About the book...
At first little sheep is thrilled with her new school. She huffs and she puffs and howls to her heart' content. When lunchtime comes it is a whole different story and she is not happy:
I love when authors take an old tale and put a brand new twist on it. Adorable little sheep is bored with life. She is tired of just hanging out, playing baaa-dmitton and to tell the truth... she's weary of just about everything in general. She wants to break out of her sheepish life and have a blast. She hears a wolf howl in the distance and while all the other sheep around her run for cover and hide she stands alone, smiles big, and cries out... "That's what I want":
"I want to be a wolf!" Oh my!
Her parents are horrified at first but when she won't give it up they work together to make her wish happen. Mama Sheep knits her a woolly wolf suit, Papa Sheep pays for howling lessons and they sent her off to Wolf School on the other side of the hill.
At first little sheep is thrilled with her new school. She huffs and she puffs and howls to her heart' content. When lunchtime comes it is a whole different story and she is not happy:
"Lamburgers?" she cringed. "Eee-ewe!"
Little Wolf who is sitting beside her tries to share his lunch his mother packed for him. It consists of a farmer who has been in the freezer for years and little sheep declines. He suggests perhaps she would like some chips, made from Stu's cousins. No thanks she responds, no way! Little Wolf is only trying to be kind because he likes her and would like her to be his friend. Not wanting to offend Little Wolf she dishes up the excuse that she is a vegetarian.

Little Wolf invites her home for dinner and assures her that veggies will be on her menu. She accepts his gracious invitation but when she enters his house a huge surprise awaits her....one that exposes wolve's for they really are by nature... carnivores! She discovers that her parents have also been invited for dinner ... as the meal! Oh goodness me!
Can Little Sheep save the day? Will all the sheep present at the wolf dinner be turned into a tasty stew (including her), or can they escape and find safety once again?
The illustrations are truly amazing and utterly brilliant. They are edgy and witty and will appeal to many. There's a clear moral to the story for kids about how to handle being different. Your child will be engaged in both the text and especially the illustrations from cover to cover. I highly recommend it so get into your LAMBorghini and pick up a copy!
