Eduardo Guadardo, Elite Sheep

Cute, Cartoony Fun

There isn't much substance to the moral of this tale - something about being good at teamwork and knowing your own capabilities - but it's a fun, little book all the same. It includes a few opportunities to teach kids new, difficult (for them) words like ‘dossier' and ‘perpetrator' while also having a few jokes for adults. (Nothing dirty! Just things like calling the government agent Gingerbread Man ‘G-Man'.) The art isn't all that exciting, but it feels like a cartoon environment and looks nice anyway.

I've been reading a few children's books in seek of some that are gift worthy, and I think this one has made that list.
