內容簡介

Shaun is the new sheep shearer in Shaggy Gully. Since shearing is such hard work, all the other shearers have sheep dogs to help them. But not Shaun. His partner is Pete . . . a sheep- sheep!

Pete has a polite way of rounding up his charges, and Shaun is an expert shearer. The sheep are thrilled with this unconventional new team, but the other shearers—Ratso, Big Bob, and Bungo—are not. Luckily, Pete has a few ideas under his hat that are sure to please everyone.

Bruce Whatley’s spirited illustrations bring to life Jackie French’s zany characters in this hilarious tribute to individuality and the working sheep.
牧羊狗你一定見過,但是你見過牧羊羊嗎?Pete就是一只牧羊羊,它和主人Shaun來到一個新的農場。農場里面原來有三個農夫和他們的牧羊狗。他們看到牧羊羊都笑慘了。對于牧羊羊Pete的想法也覺得很好笑。不過事實上大多數的羊偏愛Pete的服務,于是三只牧羊犬英雄無用武之地。他們的主人很生氣。于是就把Pete跟他的主人趕走。原以為已經失業的主人Shaun在Pete的建議下,開設了新的小羊專屬的beauty salon,專門幫羊羊做造型,配套上Pete的貼心服務,很快,農場里的羊們都往店里跑。竟然連農場里的那三只牧羊犬也都跑來做造型,甚至留下來店里幫忙!哈哈!接下來事情會怎么發展呢?

擁有著童書作家,暢銷生活類書籍作家,歷史學家,生態學者等多重身份的Jackie French在去年,獲選并游歷全澳積極履行澳洲兒童文學桂冠詩人(2014-2015)之職責,切身竭力倡導推廣兒童閱讀文化,更是創作業界對其成就再次投注的厚望贊譽。肩負文學熱忱推廣,兒童閱讀權利宣傳以及書籍力量倡導者使命于一身的文化大使新責,她在就職演說上的精彩片斷,無不令愛書之人聽之心緒澎湃,心有向往。
“Fans of the teen goth writer will likely find plenty to feast on here.”–Publishers Weekly

“Readers will be racing to reach [the end] as they devour this compelling tale. Atwater-Rhodes does another fine job of building a suspenseful mood and sustaining it throughout.”–School Library Journal
