Much more of a tongue twister than the original Sheep in a Jeep, but still a hilarious tale of transportation-challenged sheep.

Well, the ship certainly isn't as good as the jeep, or even the shop or out to eat, but it's still cute. And rhyming.

For: animal lovers; readers looking for a silly and suspenseful book.
Possible red flags: characters in peril.

Sheep on a Ship is the second book in Nancy E. Shaw's sheep series. Both my children like pirates so this book is their favorite of the series.
In this book, the herd of sheep don pirate hats and take the high seas. They aren't any more competent with sailing as they are with driving and soon find themselves in trouble.
Sheep on a Ship isn't quite as tongue tying as as Sheep on a Jeep but it does have a few tricky moments involving words rhyming with ship. If you're going to read this book out loud to your children, I suggest practicing or read it very slowly the first couple of times to avoid unfortunate slips of the tongue.
The Sheep series includes:
* Sheep in a Jeep (1986)
* Sheep on a Ship (1989)
* Sheep in a Shop (1991)
* Sheep Out to Eat (1992)
* Sheep Take a Hike (1994)
* Sheep Trick or Treat (1987)
* Sheep Blast Off (2008)
