ShBeep the Unique Sheep T E Antonino

What make us unique can make us outcasts, but for a creative thinking sheep and a spunky little girl it leads them on a soulful adventure in a topsy-turvy world. In my children's chapter book ShBeep the Unique Sheep, kids have the opportunity to use their imagination, go on amusing adventures, and embrace what makes them unique. ShBeep the Unique Sheep is a fun and feel-good read, while also imparting the important lesson on kids that what makes them different is what makes them truly special. Pop is a fourth grader who lives life on her own terms. She meets a kindred spirit named ShBeep, who is an outcast of the sheep herd. ShBeep and Pop quickly make an enduring friendship. ShBeep convinces Pop to go on an adventure, and they embark on a journey where they end up meeting people who would make a bed bug in a popcorn popper seem like it has it all together. They join a circus where ShBeep's flea problem becomes everyone's problem. They come across the inventors of Puddles Dud, who are about as stable as a baby with a stomach full of sour milk. Their adventure finally leads Pop on a journey of self-discovery, which enables her to help ShBeep in his darkest hour. The children at school may have trouble accepting Pop for who she really is but, in the end, Pop finds her true self and it's something beautiful.
