As a former English teacher and librarian, book talks were a staple in our founder’s classroom and library. She posted those book talks and reviews on her personal page, educatorbarnes.com. Those reviews are now on this website, and our founder will continue adding new book reviews. They are categorized on the Book Talks and Reviews page.
A PBS blog states, “There are many benefits of reading nursery rhyme books with kids; practicing patterns and improving memorization skills, recognizing rhythms, and increasing phonological awareness and phonetic ability are just a few.” Although Sheep in a Jeep by Nancy Shaw is not a nursery rhyme, the book has many fun rhymes for readers.
Shaw wrote eight books with these sheep who seem to find themselves in tricky situations. In this tale, the sheep have trouble while using a jeep. The decisions they make will cause young readers to chuckle a bit.
This book was an enjoyable read, and I suggest readers check out Shaw’s other sheep books.
