Description

the award-winning team behind Diary of a Wombat have joined forces again to create another highly amusing picture book. Sean is a shearer and instead of a sheepdog to help him, he's got a sheep sheep - Pete. After being rejected by the other shearers and their dogs, Sean and Pete set up a sheep salon in town. Sheep from everywhere arrive to have their wool shorn in the latest style and even the shearers' dogs end up arriving for a cut in order to look gorgeous. Jackie and Bruce have created the perfect combination of words and illustrations in this irreverent look at the world of sheep shearing. Ages 4-9
