The sheep closed in around him like a big, woolly blanket. The puppy had never been so scared or so excited in his life. Soon he was racing, feinting, dodgingโlearning what it means to be one of the proud breed of Border collies, the finest sheepherders in the world. Then, almost overnight, his life is turned upside down. He finds himself in a series of strange places, with no sheep, his family gone. With nothing but the courage he was born with and a dream, he searches for the life he once knew, gathering names and adventures as he goes. For a short time, he's called Blackie. To the Goat Man, he's Shep. To Hollerin, he's Spot. There's one name that threatens to haunt him foreverโSparky, the name Billy the circus man calls him. But there's another name that he is given, one that finally makes him feel at home. . . . Review: Long-standing fav in our house - My first grader has the fortune to be the 6th child and has been read to every night since the day she was born. She usually is read books that her siblings are reading and that is how Sheep came to be her favorite book. She asked me to order this so that we could donate this to the school library for her birthday(a fantastic tradition). Her copy is well worn and well loved by a pup loving little girl, and her siblings before her. Review: My great-niece and I loved it - What a wonderful book. A teacher friend of mine recommended it so I decided to read it before giving it to my great niece. Iโm so glad I didโwonderful story, good message, and overall very entertaining. We both loved it.

Enjoyed reading this with my daughter for her book report
Enjoyed reading this with my daughter for her book report. She enjoyed the many adventures. Also it was a good read for her to read on her own.

A fantastic Book! I can't wait for my 11 yr old daughter to read it!
Jack the Border Collie is a heartwarming character. You can't help but feel his joy as a puppy, his pain and suffering when he's separated from his loved ones and ultimately his peace when he's given a new family. I would recommend this book to anyone, young or old, who loves a tale of hope!

Sheep
I purchased this book for my grand-daughter, she had checked it out at the local library and was unable to finsh it before it had to be turned in (I had rechecked it out three times). I have been trying to encourage her to read and she told me was on chapter six when she had to finally turn it in, so when I found it on Amazon.com I thought it would be a nice surprise for her to have it as her own, she loved it and has been reading it again.

Great Dog's Eye View of Life
Sheep is a sage and witty character. If I could buy this book for a dollar each, I'd get a class set of 34 and have my 4th graders read it with me. It's got everything you want to teach to children about life, death, and love. I'd also give it to older people who have failed to launch. It's a quick and easy read... it was recommended to me by a former student who is now in 6th grade. She was right... this book "Zings."

LOVE IT!
I absolutely loved this book. I saw it at a friends house that I was cat sitting for and after a few pages I decided I had to read it so they loaned it to me. I have a rescue Border Collie/Aussie mix and could really relate. I loved it so much I purchased 2 copies for my great-neices and nephews for Christmas! I think it rates right up there with Charlotte's Web!

Sheep was a Christmas gift for my great nephew who is 8
Sheep was a Christmas gift for my great nephew who is 8. He and his grandpa have sheep and he also happens to like dogs. He really liked the book and got reading points for it at school. I fully recommend it.
