Sweet Pea & Friends: The SheepOver

(4) K-3 Illustrated by John Churchman. The barnyard animals fret when orphan lamb Sweet Pea takes ill one winter night; following veterinary care, she revives, and it's time for a "SheepOver Party," complete with disco ball. The narrative seems driven not by a storytelling impulse (Sweet Pea's illness resolves without complication) but by a desire to showcase the unique "photo-illustrations," which have a gauzy, photomontage look.
