My criteria for a children's book- would I want to read it every night for a week. No. The title drew me in- a "sheepover-" the sheep has a sleepover with her friends. That was the end of the cuteness.

This book is weird. The photos are pieced together, and the story doesn't make much sense.

Very cute book! I LOVE the clever illustrations - a very interesting art technique.

I was drawn to this one because I love when the illustrations are actual photographs. However, with this book the photographs were layered again and again and it was distracting. The story was adorable, though, and my daughter appreciated that Sweet Pea is a real sheep that needed saving.

I loved this sweet picture book - it melds photography with art to tell the story of Sweet Pea the sheep.

I want this sheep to be my very best friend the whole world and to be invited to it's sleepovers.

The story is not really there but I love the SheepOver idea. The visual presentation (photography digitally brushed into illustration) is different and arresting but a little hard on the eyes in places. I'll be interested to see if there are future books.

Even with the trippy illustrations, this book is a sweet story of friendship among animals. Berry loved the close-ups of animal faces. I felt like the book was trying to tell two stories at once where one would've worked better, but it was still easy to follow.
