Description

An accidental-friendship story packed with humorfrom author-illustrator Eric Barclay

Sheep is an expert at protecting sheepor so she thinks until one happy afternoon when she bumps into a very hairy someone on the farm.

Who are you she asks.

Im the sheep dog! the someone says. I watch the sheep.

Holy begonia! Sheep knows this cant be right. After all, shes the pro! So Sheep goes off to get everything Sheep Dog needs to get the job done, but each time she goes, something almost happens to Sheep...

And it's Sheep Dog who saves the day!

For fans of Goodnight Already! by Jory John, You Will Be My Friend! by Peter Brown, and Little Blue Truck by Alice Schertle, this hilarious and tender friendship story proves that even the best watchers must look out for one another.
