Was für ein herrliche-unterhaltsamer Schafsunsinn. Dieses mal treibt es die Kriegerschafe dank einer Weissagen sogar bis nach Australien. Schaf sei Dank überstehen sie Bungee Jumping, Salties, Wild Water Rafting und noch so einigen anderen Unfug.

Mit diesen Schafen kommt man doch wirklich sehr weit rum.

Selbst nach 5 Jahren, als ich es vor wenigen Tagen wiedergegunden habe, habe ich mich direkt an den Spaß, den ich beim Lesen hatte, erinnert

Another great installment of the Warrior Sheep series! This series is so fun, I found myself laughing so many times throughout the book. The characters are just so lovable, especially little Wills! He is just too cute, he has the most interesting observations about the human world based on watching tv with his human.

The mystery comes together nicely and there were a good amount of surprises along the way. I love the way the sheep travel, they are pretty crafty! The pacing is great, it's very similar to a children's tv show, which makes sense because the authors work in television.

I'm still partial to "The Warrior Sheep Go West", but I think that's because I really enjoyed the Las Vegas setting. Possibly, it's also because it was my first foray into the Warrior Sheep world and I was so surprised at all the unexpected laughs.

I'd recommend this series to any of the young readers I know, it's laugh out loud funny with great, lovable characters.

Another thoroughly entertaining and hilarious installment of the Warrior Sheep's adventures. This is the third book, but these really don't have to be read in order. This one in Australia and the original (Quest of the Warrior Sheep) were funnier to me than the one where the sheep hit America (Warrior Sheep Go West) which I found a little bit too bizarre. But I loved the sheep following their "fairy godtingy" (they keep forgetting fairy godmother) through Australia and all of the misunderstandings and hilarity that ensue.

This is 3 of 4 books & the authors have really found their groove; this one has more humor, & Links has better raps too.

Older ones may be able to piece together the mysterious items before reaching the end, but it’s fun to try & see if you’re correct, so one still reads to the end.

Perfect for kids that are becoming more advanced in their reading abilities (age range 8+) the story is entertaining & funny & will allow kids to use their imagination the key characters are the sheep as you follow them on their adventures across the world 😊
