Brenda is a sheep. She’s like all the other sheep — except Brenda has a long snout and sharp teeth and sharp claws. Brenda is planning a feast for all her sheep friends with her delicious mint sauce. She just needs to find the perfect thing to eat with it.

This is a quirky twist on the classic ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’ story, and it will appeal to a wide audience. The story is sweet and has a good message of friendship. The illustrations are high contrast in green, orange, grey, black and white and are simply done. This is a cute story but there isn’t any major wow factor. Recommended for readers 3 and up.
