    I love this book! It has long been a favorite at our house. With Margo Apple's delightful illustrations and Nancy Shaw's spare and comedic text, this book will have everyone laughing at the five foolish sheep adventuring in the story. And this is just the beginning; look for additional related titles: Sheep in a Shop, and Sheep out to Eat.

    Horn Book
    Critic

    "'Beep! Beep!/Sheep in a jeep.' Somebody certainly should sound the horn, because a rollicking, rhyming, delightfully illustrated book has turned up...Sheep in a Jeep is great fun for the beginning reader--and, in fact, for just about anyone."

    Booklist
    Critic
    Starred Review

    "There's a lot of character to the silly sheep in this silly tale that is simple enough to be manageable for children just beginning to read...A highly agreeable farce."

    School Library Journal
    Critic

    "The bright colored pencil drawings and lean text make this a great choice for pre-school story-times, as well as for beginning readers who want a funny story."
