There is also Wanda the batman chook and Polly the pig and many more as they all perform and sound so cool. What could be better learning about the animals on the farm in this fun and hilarious story.
All of a sudden, eek there's something to make you stop - a wolf! Find out more about this wolf and his intentions, are they bad and ready to eat the animals or is there something rather different about this Woolf? Perhaps he cn be trusted and his story might change their minds.
The illustrations work so well in portraying the story, especially the animal expressions,
A terrific books in the Kevin the Sheep series.
