Where is the Green Sheep? Touch and Feel Board Book

Here is the blue sheep, and here is the red sheep. There are sheep in the bath, sheep in bed and plenty of wonderfully quirky sheep along the way. But where is the green sheep?

Where Is the Green Sheep? is a much loved Australian picture book that turns a simple search into a playful introduction to opposites, colours and descriptive language. With Mem Fox’s rhythmic storytelling and Judy Horacek’s charming illustrations, little readers are encouraged to observe each page, spot the differences and join in as they search for that elusive green sheep.

Simple enough for young children to follow and clever enough to make repeat reading fun, this classic children’s book is one families can return to again and again.
