Shannon McNeill.
Wild, a bighorn sheep, lives "on the high, rocky hill," while Woolly, a ranch sheep, lives "on the grassy field." One day, each visits the other and decides his own home suits him best. The playful language in this friendship story is complemented by humorous illustrations that make good use of the contrast between Wild's hill and Woolly's field.

Illustrated by
Shannon McNeill.
A family car trip to an amusement park includes singing, backseat squabbling, stops for snacks, and the increasingly frequent refrain, "Are we there yet?" McNeill's stylized paintings get messier and messier with ice-cream spills, bingo game pieces, and dog drool as the trip progresses. Readers will enjoy the humorous, and realistic, details in both art and rhyming text.
