Authored by M.J. Burke
Illustrated by Jake Tebbit
Ages 2-4
Grade Level - PS and up
Unwrapping some darling illustrations for you to enjoy...
About the book...
Baa is an adorable, happy little sheep that loves to nibble on the grass around him. What is very cool about Baa is that he is a very creative nibbler... he creates shapes as he munches away. How fun is that?
Little ones will delight in the watercolour illustrations and all the added details that are added to each page. Small children can name and learn the shapes that Baa so artistically creates. His talented chomping style results in the perfect square, triangle, circle and rectangle configurations. Finally satisfied after all his hard work Baa curls up, counts sheep I'm sure, and falls fast asleep with a smile on his face.
I highly recommend this board book geared towards ages 0+.
