Sheep In Wolves' Clothing
Sheep in Wolves' Clothing by Satoski Kitamura is an adorable book with great pictures and conversation bubbles where the sheep talk. The story starts out when three sheep want to go to the beach and go swimming. When they get there a group of wolves playing putt putt agree to watch their coats for them so they won't get them wet and salty. The wolves leave with the coats while they are swimming so the sheep hire a private detective to tract down their coats. While looking for their coats they find a group of cats playing rugby with some wool yarn, they ask the cats where it came from so the cats show them where they got the yarn. The cats take them to Wolfgang and Bros. Quality Knitwear. They all end up going in and fighting the wolves for their coats only to find out they have already unravelled them. The sheep tell the wolves they will just take a bag. Later at the end of the story you see the sheep in the field eating with knitted colorful wool sweaters on. I think this story would really captivate children's attention, it goes from one thing to the next until the end and the pictures of the sheep and wolves are hilarious. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a good laugh.

Lauren, I think that this book sounds really funny and also sounds like a good break from the traditional children's books. I think that a lot of times teachers don't just read books because they are funny or are simply just a good book. I think that a lot of times they only read books that they feel are educational and then I think that they believe all books are like that. Sometimes reading funny books are just what young students need in order to get excited about literature.
