A sheep...that's scared of the dark?

FARLEY FOUND IT! by Bruce Van Patter
AR Level: 1.8 Points: .5

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of reading this one. The story follows the plight of Edna the dog, who is trying to outwit Farley the sheep. Farley loves everything about being a sheep except for sleeping outside—he’s afraid of the dark. Edna has a wonderfully cozy doghouse, and once Farley finds it, the battle is on—every time Edna moves her house, Farley finds it and falls fast asleep. In the end, Edna ends up making a new house for herself so Farley can have her old one. The illustrations are precious—each time Edna moves her house, Farley is hidden somewhere in the picture, watching.
