Shaun the Sheep: Flock Factor won't be released until November 2014 as of July 2014. It feels super early to put up a review for this book, but the publisher put up an ARC on Net Galley.
A huge con to the publisher putting this book up for review on Net Galley so early was that the artwork, a key piece to any childrens book, was actually incomplete. All of the art was marked as 'SKETCHES--FINAL ART TO COME'. That's great, but doesn't help me to review this one bit.
What I quite enjoyed about Flock Factor was that it seemed and even read like a very plausible episode for Shaun the Sheep. I could very well see this happening. Which in the end, kind of had an odd down side to it as well. Since it is a plausible episode, and an average story from Shaun the Sheep is about 5 or so minutes, you start to get this annoyed feeling like why is it taking so long to get through something that could have been done in 5 minutes? Also the author tried to emulate the style of Shaun the Sheep with the descriptions and such. But it is clear that it works much better on screen than on paper.
