review 1: 2 sneaky sheep have a history of escaping their sheepdog and when they finally succeed, he is there to save the day. Beginning readers may find the font difficult to read and the layout is frantic and crowded on some pages. However, who can resist the wonky faced sheep, especially when they are hiding in the sunflowers or playing poker with the famous card playing dogs? Didn't know this book was already in my school's collection, definitely need to share it with the PK-2 crowd.
review 2: The title alone had me smiling. The story packs a lot into a very few words. Two sheep, Rocky and Blossom, want to move to a different meadow because they’re convinced the grass is greener there. Their sheepdog, Murphy, tries to protect them by keeping them in their own me
... moreadow, but they manage to slip away from him. Of course, the sheep run into a wolf who wants to eat them. After Murphy rescues them, the sheep decide the meadow they know is okay, at least for now. The illustrations are especially delightful. When the sheep are being sneakier than usual, they give the sheepdog sidelong glances that speak volumes. The wolf looks almost demonic with his sly grin. The author illustrator is very inventive showing the various ways in which the sheep get into trouble. They go from flying on rockets to sunning on railroad tracks to befriending knitters who want their coats. This book is worth a look. less

begin was really good, the ending didn't have the same cute little captioned pictures.

My favorite is the pictures of their "bad decisions over the years."

Lots of wink-winks for adults.

Rocky and Blossom are scamps!
