Tale that turns the "wolf in sheep's clothing" story right on its head, and shows kids that things are not always as they seem.
Brenda is exactly like all the other sheep. Well, except for the sharp teeth, gray fur, sharp claws, and orange sweater. All the sheep think that Brenda is just the best! Despite Brenda's best efforts to enjoy the ultimate sheep feast, Brenda realizes that she is, after all, a sheep. A funny reminder that what you look like doesn't dictate who you are.
“Young readers and listeners may not yet have encountered the old saying and they may not connect tasty mint sauce to a delicious rack of lamb. But they will relish the bright orange and gray party on every page; the humorous and appealing illustrations buoy the tale, provide a subtext, and leave readers’ worries in the dust.” —School Library Journal, starred review
"For young readers with a taste for the ominous.” —Kirkus Reviews
