Where Is the Green Sheep? by Mem Fox and Judy Horacek

Where Is the Green Sheep? - Mem Fox and Judy Horacek (Pub: 2004)

Another brilliant book by Mem Fox, illustrated by Judy Horacek.

It's a fun whimsical book all about finding the green sheep. As we search though the book, we read a sentence a page, of different kinds of sheep: the clown sheep, the up sheep, the down sheep etc.

Fox uses the rhyme and rhythm, and the idea of opposites to help children understand differences within each picture, whilst still keeping the premise by returning to the refrain question: But where's the green sheep?

"This is another most beautiful book for little people by Mem Fox. It also has wonderful simple illustrations which are a delight to look at. The rhythmical prose is so simple but so enjoyable to read. "

It has become so popular that it has joined that rare group of books printed both in paperback, hardback, and board book, as well as, now being published with plush toy included.

A great book for children 4months and up to 5 years old.
