Eduardo Guadardo, Elite Sheep by Anthony Pearson
3.0
Thanks to Blue Slip Media for the review copy. All opinions are my own.
A very original story idea: Eduardo Guadardo enrolls in the FBI (fairy-tale bureau of investigations). He is so elite that he gets put on a case before he even graduates from the academy.
Before he knows it, he gets thrown right into a scene from Mary Had a Little Lamb. But he doesn't know that Mary is an undercover agent, whose job is to reveal Eduardo Guadardo's main flaw: he's a terrible team player.
This is a largely dialogue-driven story that was a tad bit confusing to read aloud. My daughter asked a lot of questions as we read, which allowed us to talk through what was happening in the illustrations and left out of the narrative.
A lot of the dialogue is super funny and very "now" (e.g., when Mary calls Eduardo "you silly Fleecy McFleece").
Lots of good stuff happening here!
