Have You Ever Seen A Sneep?

How is a little boy supposed to enjoy a grand day out when every time he ventures out for something fun to do, he is rudely interrupted by some very mischievous creature? Poor Oscar can’t seem to catch a break!

What always strikes me with Joel Stewart’s work is his ability to create quirky, unusual-looking creatures. So I think he was the perfect candidate to work out what a Sneep and all its merry friends would look like! The slight wash-out look of the illustrations gives the story a dreamy atmosphere which is perfect. The rhyming text is engaging and Oscar’s constant bewilderment that he seems to be the only one making such unfortunate encounters is hilarious.
