Book Review: 'Six Creepy Sheep' by Judith Ross Enderle & Stephanie Gordon Tessler

✰✰✰✰ When six creepy decide to go trick-or-treating on a spooky Halloween night, they’re the ones in for a surprise. As they go a-haunting, the six creepy sheep meet their matches one-by-one, until...there’s only one left. Where did they all go? Turn the pages of this quick holiday read to discover a fun twist ending and happy surprise.

The Bottom Line: With rhyming text, this picture book is suited for storytimes for beginning readers. It’s a super short and super fun read for kids learning to count backwards, and it’s a great way to introduce kids to the concept of collective nouns too. O’Brien’s Goreyesque illustrations create a lighthearted spookiness, and the use of a Halloween color palette adds to the fun. For kids ages 3 and up.
