Reviews for La oveja 19

This is a fun book with big, bold illustrations. It would be perfect for story time, especially if you stop after the problem is clear, and ask children how THEY would solve it. - Puget Sound Council. There's no real capper to the book, but I greatly enjoyed the creativity that the sheep employ to establish fairness. Fairness, after all, is a concept that even animals understand. A clever take on an old standard. - A Fuse#8 Production.
