Little Bo-Peep

By Tracey Campbell Pearson

A nursery rhyme that toddlers can relate to Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep and can't tell where to find them . . . The Bo-Peep in question here is a wakeful youngster at play in her crib. And the sheep: two stuffed toys whom she lets fall over the rail. There is no hesitation on Bo-Peep's part to make known to the world her distressing situation, and soon her sleepy-eyed parents come to the rescue. Of course, when her parents leave the room again, there are no guarantees that the little girl is done playing shepherdess.

Charmingly funny

I have never seen such charming humor in such a short book. Don't let the title fool you. It's not a boring nursery rhyme story. The author really surprised me by using the text of a well known nursery rhyme and using pictures to tell a completely different story that never-the-less matched the words. I just love the story twist at the end. Very imaginative book! The only downside is that it is very short.

Wonderful!

My 14 month old daughter loves this book! She will bring it to us numerous times a day for us to read to her and she will sit and look at it over and over by herself. She loves it at the end when the baby throws the sheep out of the crib. The illustrations are delightful and there are charming things for children to notice on each page. The sturdy board book format holds up well under much use from toddler hands. A great find!!
