I guess this is a cute concept, of the sheep blending in with the animals for each number in the book. However, the sophistication of the book seems geared toward young toddlers, who will take the counting literally. I think only older toddlers will get the sheep joke. In fact, it took me a minute to identify the gag. Books like Boynton's Blue Hat, Green Hat at least clue the toddler in with an "oops."

A cheeky sheep puts on scant disguises to hide among his fellow farm animals in this counting book. Kids will enjoy finding the one chicken, cow, duck, or horse that doesn't quite look like the others.

In this funny story in a brightly illustrated board book, a sheep encourages the reader to play hide and seek with him, counting to 10. The sheep does all the hiding, and in each situation he is disguised to look like the animals he is hiding among. Funny!

Play Hide and Seek with Sheep. Sheep hides first, count to ten, can you find him in each picture pretending to be another animal?

[Kelly · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a counting book, but also a little find-the-sheep book. One of the things I liked was that it's not too difficult to find the sheep on each page. Perfect for the target audience.

A sheep invites the reader to play "hide 'n' sheep" with him and proceeds to hide amongst other groups of farm animals. My four-year-old laughed a few times at it.

Nice📚 little bit journey and slightly different but enjoyable. So I recommend to friends and parents. Thank you!

I'm not so sure the intended audience will catch on to the joke.

A fun counting book for children who laugh and say “Hey! Wait a minute! That’s not a duck, that’s a sheep!”
