The Sheep Go on Strike

32 pp. | Eerdmans | September, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8028-5470-4 $16.00
(4) K-3 Tired of being sheared ("Why are we always the ones?"), some sheep go on strike. This is Click, Clack, Moo by way of Animal Farm: the narrative, which is somewhat dense, includes the activist buzzwords "revolution," "demonstrators," and "police brutality." Not that this compromise-promoting book isn't a lot of fun: e.g., the illustration of the marchers and their adversaries is (bloodless) slapstick hilarity.
