One Smart Sheep, written by Gary D. Schmidt and Elizabeth Stickney, reviewed by Katy Golden

Summary:  Wilson is one friendly, woolly, smart sheep - the friendliest, wooliest, and smartest on Abigail Atwood's farm. When Wilson discovers that the fence has been left open, he decides to walk up to Abigail's house - but instead walks up the ramp to a piano van, embarking on an adventure through the city and prompting Abigail and her dog Tippy to start a search. Written in short chapters interspersed with colorful illustrations, "One Smart Sheep" is a quick, humorous adventure burgeoning readers will love.

Straight Talk for Librarians:  Wilson's journey through town is punctuated by miscommunications, humorous asides, and the search for the music he hears from all corners of the town. This short chapter book is perfect to hand to fans of Mercy Watson that are looking for a few less pictures and a few more words.
