Sheep by Valerie Hobbs

Hi all:

 

This is a children's book, but I absolutely ADORE it! I am currently reading it to my 4th grade class, and I thought that some of you might enjoy it, too.

 

It is a tale about Jack, the border collie pup, who wants to work more than anything. All he thinks about is sheep! He lives on a ranch in California with a rancher, his wife, their flock, and a bunch of other border collies- until a wild fire destroys the ranch. All of the pups get sold, and Jack ends up in some unlikely places. The story follows Jack through many non-working homes, and has him searching everywhere for a flock of his own.

 

It is a fantastic story, and culturally accurate. My students are loving it!

 

Enjoy,

Karrin
