Sheep Books

This product really helps in the correct pronounce of the words, showing each difference in sound. It's easy to follow and undestand. A "must-have" to anyone who's learning english.

I have recently used this book with my students and found it really helpful. You won't regret buying it.

This is a cute book about sheep doing winter activities on Christmas day. The number of sheep gradually decrease as they each end up in a snow bank, until the last sheep left standing rescues them all and they return safely home. It's a good Christmas story without any moralizing. It's also a fun winter counting book with a bit of humor and no scary parts. Altogether, the book has about 200 words.

I originally bought this book for my five yr. old but my one yr. old quickly made it his own. The dry humor and brevity of this book make it an extremely enjoyable read for kids. I'm just glad I can re-order one since our current copy is in shreds from so much use. What a great book!

Sheep are horrible, horrible creatures. If you've ever been around them, you know they have no brains, no chutzpah, and no will to live. Anybody who's lived in the countryside knows this. The authors of the Bible, who were often nomadic shepherds (including King David) certainly would have known this. Yet those who are called to follow God are christened "sheep" in the good book. That can't be right, can it?

Oh yes it can.

Humorist Ken Davis explains not only why we are like sheep, he makes us understand why we are called to that life, and why it is a thing of beauty. Along the way he also makes us laugh uproariously.

If you're weary of sermons that leave you feeling dreary and exhausted by the time you're done with them, Davis is your preacher. He explains his points clearly and comprehensibly, and he makes you care about what he has to say. He's in high demand, so it may be a while before you get to see him yourself; in the meantime, videos like "Super Sheep" will give you a foretaste of what he has to offer.

Watch, savor, laugh. And then pray. You certainly won't regret it

This is a super video about how to become super sheep...the wolves, snakes, etc want to attack, but the sheep with the Good Shepherd can prevail. Ken is at his best in this taped presentation. If you've never been blessed to hear him before, here's a great example of how he presents the Word in a different manner...one that will touch you and one which you will remember.

This is a neat book. I have given it out as presents & everyone loves it. Just pictures tell the story.

Sylvia van Ommen's THE SURPRISE tells of Sheep, who wants to make a special gift for her best friend. When her wool is long enough she rides her moped to buy some red dye, ten dyes her wool and shaves it off. But what is she making? A fun wordless picture book invites kids to guess.

I am not sure how I picked out this book, but I couldn't put it down. I learned about our Germans, American prairie life and technology, or lack thereof. I had some good laughs - the group's solution for the tall, incompetent worker comes to mind. I also felt great sorrow. You know, that is this book's strength - it inspires feelings. I came out of each short story with a strong emotion - happiness, sorrow, curiosity, sated...

This author has deeply researced his subject matter. The historical facts are reliable and the read flows effortlessly. I recomnend this book without reservation.

I purchased this as a follow up to the first book, "They Smell Like Sheep". This book follows in the same path as the first. Both are well worth the reading.

The first "smells like sheep" was a great read, but this is better - 20% better...This is a must have for all Christian leaders that desire to do more than go through the motions. The heart of the shepherd becomes fully examined and challenged in this great book. I cannot express the gratitude I have for this excellent, challenging book.

This is a fast reading autobiography/inspirational book. W.G. Ilefledt has lived a full life and has retired in California, where he and his wife Louise raise sheep. He has a dog, Maxie, a border collie, who helps him herd the sheep, as well as being a good friend to him. He elobartes on how the sheep are cared for and helped when having their young, and how he tries his best to protect them from preditors. Some become his pets, others he sells at market. He also incorporates thoughts of faith, love, and events in life that force us to ponder.

Willard reflects back on his childhood as a dyslexic child, raised with his sister, and widowed Mother. His stories are funny and sad, but very normal for humankind. His words unfold how mysterious and wonderful the couse of any life in this world is.

This is one book that is in my personal library I will never get rid of. Thoughts while Tending Sheep is one of the most thought inducing books I've ever read. This book really makes you think about life and all the strange things that get us to where we are now. The author overcame many obstacles (Personal and other which he writes about) to become an author. Extremely well written book.

The author writes about his life in California raising sheep with his wife Louise. He he also writes about his loyal dog, Maxie, a border collie, who means the world to him. He writes about how the sheep have taught him about life, love, challenges and ultimately God. He also speaks of his faith in Jesus Christ, from the time he was a dyslexic school boy who could barely read or write to the author he has become.

This story really will bring you to tears and make you ponder your own life. Excellent book.

It's a very weird, beautiful mirror for us humans. Ladies, please dont wear make-up,when you read this book. Gentlemen, be prepared, it is better then the Life of Brian. I got tears of laughing all the time. One of the rare books, you have to have at home - at least in 3 samples, in order to be able to give it to your highly sophisticated or misanthrop friends. Enjoy.

What a great mystery! Author Leonie Swann brings us into the collective minds and hearts of a herd of sheep, without ever becoming precious or twee. Set in Ireland, the mystery itself is quite good (unlike some animal-based mysteries.) Swann's writing is witty without being pretentious. The sheep are definitely clever and heroic, while staying true to their ovine species, and even the humans are well-rounded and carefully done. A real winner (and you'll never look at a sheep in quite the same way again!)

Great book to add some humor to your day especially if you are a farmer or rancher. Might even help you appreciate your food if you are not a farmer or rancher.

It seems that this title (oh, so appropriate!) is almost as long as the text of this pensive, perceptive book. Stockton condenses experiences gained through living in close association with the land, livestock, predators, and economic pressures into this extremely readable and informative book. I am recommending it to my family and friends who just can't understand what I'm doing in this very different land.

As a former deputy sheriff in the nowood valley, Ten Sleep, Wyoming, I found Mr. Davis' research and presentation outstanding. His descriptions and evaluations were right on the money. As a critical history buff, I was pleasantly surprised to find no faults or criticisms of Mr. Davis' work. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in historical jurisprudence. Things might have changed in "crime detection/investigation" but in the courtroom? not so much.

Wyoming looms large for me, and I've alluded to a recent film about Wyoming "cowboys" in other reviews. Attorney John Davis, from somewhere in the Big Horn Basin, discusses events of 2 April 1909 that put the cowboy canard in its place. Those movie cowboys aren't cowboys because they're all hat and no cattle. They're sheepherders. So were Joe Allemand, shot to death on 2 April 1909, and Joe Enge, murdered and burned in his sheep wagon on Spring Creek.

Spring Creek was the last big battle of the western sheep wars, writes Mr. Davis, and was the first (only) Wyoming raid in which killers of sheepherders were convicted of murder. The murderers of Allemand, Emge, and another herder, burned to death with Emge in his wagon, were real cowboys acting out a drama that was a tragedy of the commons. Much of Wyoming even in 1909 was unfenced open range to which cattlemen claimed rights of preemption. Sheep and their crazy herders (cowboys debated overwhelming questions: Were men already crazy before they herded sheep, or were they made crazy by the sheep they herded?) were latecomers who competed for grass and water in a dry state. Sheep wrecked the range for cattle, eating grass down to the ground and then eating the ground. Then they'd bleat and excrete, wrecking water holes. In the Big Horn Basin commons, cattlemen and cowboys tolerated sheep and sheepherders as long as they knew their place. Where there were no fences, cattlemen helpfully drew deadlines, invisible lines in the sand beyond which sheep were not allowed to cross. Allemand and Emge crossed the line.

Allemand was foreign. Some accounts say he was Baszue; Davis writes that he was French. Allemand was an alien in an occupation dominated by Mexicans and Basques whose lives had been cheap. Mr. Allemand, though, was liked and respected by his neighbors despite being from somewhere else and despite sheep. Nobody wrote that he was crazy. Emge was foreign, but had been respected because he had been a cattleman before going to the dark side, sheep. He did not know his place. He kept his bovine arrogance despite turning to a disreputable occupation, sheep, and he openly disrespected his old cowboy cronies and their deadline. Emge, of course, represented something new under the hot Wyoming sun: old certitudes were dying. Wyoming, as territory and state, had run cattle and had been run by cattle. But Wyoming in the new 20th Century was born again; by 1909 Wyoming sheep were worth more than Wyoming cattle, and even founding fathers like cattle kings F.E. Warren & J.M. Carey were changing with the times. By 1909 cattle kings were running sheep.

That's the context of the story Mr. Davis tells. It's the story of an insular area, almost inbred, that was almost ripped apart by the aftermath of an atavistic raid. Davis excerpts Grand Jury transcripts that show communities and neighbors being pushed and pulled by the old and the new. He tells a story far more interesting than the fey fable that was nominated today for eight Academy Awards.
