Booklist - 02/15/2022 Abigail Atwood lives with Tippy, her Border collie, in a little red house. Every morning, they climb to the pasture on Atwood Hill and greet Wilson, “the friendliest, wooliest, smartest sheep” in the flock of 27. Distracted when leaving one day, they forget to latch the gate. Soon a truck arrives and workers carry a piano into Abigail’s home. Wilson leaves the pasture and trots up the ramp into the truck. After a short ride, he explores the nearby town before heading home. Meanwhile, a neighbor drives Abigail and Tippy around town to search for the lost sheep. Reunited at the red house that evening, all are content until 26 unexpected visitors arrive at the door. The brevity, clarity, and gentle humor of Schmidt's writing will appeal to many readers, from kids moving up to chapter books to older readers learning English as a second language. Appearing on many double-page spreads, the soft, richly colored pencil-and-watercolor illustrations have a naïve charm that reflects the tone of the telling. An engaging story, well suited to reading aloud. - Copyright 2022 Booklist.
