Captain Hoof and his crew of sheep manage to find the legendary Golden Shears of Woolly Jones, but their delight is cut short when a massive wave leaves them sheepwrecked. To pass the time on Foggy Island, they make many sheep and wool puns, and finally decide that their terrible fate was a result of taking something that didn’t belong to them and set out to return the shears. Woolly Jones is reunited with his tool and the entire merry flock sets back out to sea with lighter consciences and a new friend.

Sheepwrecked is a good-hearted adventure with endearing illustrations. Recommend to pirate fans, ruminant enthusiasts, and sheep pun aficionados.
