Translated by Kjersti Board.
While on vacation, Bridget notices a small island with fluffy clouds lying on it. Wading over, she discovers that the clouds are five tiny sheep. As in Bridget and the Gray Wolves, she takes on a teacherly role, giving the "silly muttonheads" swimming lessons so they can leave the island. The text effectively captures the spontaneity and language of imaginative play, and the art extends the oddball humor of the text.
