Boo and Baa at Sea

If it's not one thing, it's another for the deliriously cute Boo and Baa, as witnessed in Boo and Baa in the Woods, Boo and Baa in a Party Mood, and Boo and Baa in Windy Weather. They also get wet and go on a cleaning spree in two other Boo and Baa adventures in the series. These hapless lambs are not the sharpest sheep in town, but they do have heart. A lot of heart. The cartoonlike illustrations are slyly humorous, especially for the eagle-eyed reader who can pick up on the subtle hints dropped, like the underwater rock waiting to be bumped by the boat. Preschoolers will adore reading the simple one-sentence-per-page descriptions of Boo and Baa's predicaments, and will happily recognize the sometimes inscrutable nature of the world they, too, have so recently tumbled into.
