Fearless sheep Lana Lynn is all set to train her flock's new watchdog. Will a case of mistaken identity derail her efforts and put the sheep in jeopardy?

The sheep are in an uproar when they find out a new watchdog is coming to protect the flock, so the intrepid Lana Lynn decides to take training matters into her own hooves. When a fierce-looking canine emerges from the woods, Lana Lynn jumps right into her efforts.

The new watchdog doesn't quite catch on to herding or staying up all night guarding the sheep, but Lana Lynn isn't deterred. As she continues showing this new watchdog the ropes, she gets a creeping suspicion that something isn't right. And her fellow sheep could be in jeopardy!

Author Rebecca Van Slyke has created a charmingly overconfident heroine in Lana Lynn, enhanced by Anca Sandu's adorable and funny illustrations. An ideal read-aloud full of good farm fun!
"Bright, bold digitally created illustrations fill the entire page. The droll humor will have adults and children laughing at the antics of Lana Lynn."—School Library Journal
Rebecca Van Slyke studied marine biology at Olympic Community College, received a teaching degree from Western Washington University, and got an MFA in writing for children from Vermont College of Fine Arts. A second-grade teacher, she is also the author of several books for young readers. She lives in Washington.

Anca Sandu was born in the flatlands of eastern Romania. Her grandma declared her a "drawer" of perfect circles at age two. Heeding the call to be the artist of the family, she studied children's illustration at Anglia Ruskin University, in Cambridge, England, and discovered that her passion for drawing helped her overcome her introversion. She now enjoys engaging most humans nearly as much as drawing them. She's the author-illustrator of Churchill's Tale of Tails, as well as other books about pigs, good monsters, sheep, and gnus and shrews. Anca lives in Beaverton, Oregon, along with her husband and their ever-expanding book collection.
