Pete the Sheep 20th Anniversary Ed.
A special anniversary edition of the popular modern classic, celebrating twenty years of Australia's favourite sheep, Pete.
Shaun the shearer doesn't have a sheepdog.
He has Pete.
And Pete is no ordinary sheep.
From Jackie French and Bruce Whatley, the award-winning duo of the bestselling Diary of a Wombat, comes a story about what can happen when you do things...
... a little differently.
Some notes on the book:
Pete was a black sheep called Dunmore, who herded all our other sheep into the shearing shed in return for a milk arrowroot biscuit and a scratch behind his horns. (He'd go all dribbly and weak at the knees when you scratched him).
​
Back in the drought in the late '70s, when there was no grass for sheep to eat and no money to buy hay for them, a friend and I came up with a cunning plan. We'd give a sheep to every preschool in Australia! And then we'd make a living going around each preschool giving the sheep really cool hair cuts...
​
Luckily it rained before we put our plan into action. But many years later, this is where the story of 'the sheep with a plan' came from.
