I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
The Tale of Cosmo the Adventurous Sheep is a lovely story about a little ram called Cosmo and how his Aries traits help him to find his own path and adventure with determination and perseverance. I think this is a really cute concept/idea for a book series and I look forward to discovering more in this new series based on astrological signs for children.

I love this book. What a great story and great drawings. I thought I would give it to my grand kids right away, but I enjoyed it myself. My grand kids really enjoyed this story as much as I did. They have read it several times. I highly recommend.

The little ram Cosmo has all the characteristics of the Zodiac sign from Western culture. The series is very nice illustrated and explains in a very simple and clear language for children the features of the Aries from the Zodiac. It also includes here and there some Greek mythology elements and all in all it can be a very nice read for children and grown ups as well.

A wonderful tale of an Aries personality cute sheep showing a story of adventure and determination to find a place to belong. It's a book that I would gift for fun to my stubborn friends. Easy story but vibrant illustrations. My fav page is Cosmo swimming. I love the detail of the symbol glowing on his horn. I hope the author completes all the zodiac animals. I would love to collect mine.

I received this E-book free through Goodreads First Read.
A cute short story about the zodiac "Aries". I really liked how they used the ram for the main character and showed all the different traits of that zodiac.

This is an update of the review as the author confirmed the book I got was wrong, so he provided me a new copy with the right book.
Cosmos wants to find out what there is out of the island he lives in, and he wants to start an adventure and a great one is going to be. Being Aries, he is stubborn and adventurous, and he believes in himself. But at some point, he feels alone and scared until he saw a fisherman. Together with great difficulty, they arrive at another island.
If you want to achieve something, just be focused on it and you will get it.
Nice book with colourful illustrations.

Disguise in the form of a little sheep, the author wants to recreate the traits of an Aries that is courageous and adventurous. The little Cosmo just feel like going out of his safe surrounding and starts his new journey. Beautifully illustrated and nicely written, this story would remind you of how an Aries can be.

This Sheep is and Aries
Cosmo the sheep isn’t like other sheep. He wants adventure. So he leaves the island, finds another island, and climbs a mountain. The end.
There are two specific aspects of this book that disappointed me. The first was the location of the sheep horns. It’s been a minute since I looked at an actual sheep, but I know their horns do not grow in the space between their ears and jaws. Otherwise I really liked these illustrations.
The bigger problem was that this story had no compelling conflict. Everything was easy. It had all the elements it needed to become a striking tale of bravery and excitement, but none of the challenges were difficult for the protagonist. If I were a sheep looking for adventure, I’d have to keep looking, as the one in this book would do nothing to cure my desire for something wild and glorious.

Cosmos is an Aries sheep. Cosmos has grown up in a safe environment. Cosmos got older and decided he wanted to know the world. Cosmos goes to explore and learn. He is bold and curious, never giving up to find what he wants to know.
The author has written a sweet and cute story. He uses the astrology sign of Airies for his personality and trait. It’s a fun book to read.

I absolutely LOVED this book! I have an interest in astrology and my son does to. It's such a great way to get children on board with astrology. The story is so cute and it does teach independence to children among other things such as being adventurous. So cute so sewwt, gotta love the book!! I cannot wait to read more children's books from this author.

Cute story about Aries the Ram—target age is confusing
This is a cute story that can teach kids about astrology (specifically Aries). I just wonder about the target age. The pictures indicate it is for young readers, but the vocabulary and number of words on each page indicate it is written to an older audience.

***I won this from a GoodReads giveaway ***
This book is ok. It is not one that I would read to my grandson. The zodiac reference is what caught my eye, but I only found the story to be “eh, ok”.
