Lucy the Sheep Dog

Farmer Pete needs a sheep dog, and Lucy is the perfect dog for the job... or so he thinks. But when the sheep butt and stamp and run, and Lucy realises she's not much of a sheep dog after all.

How will Lucy ever help Farmer Pete if she can't herd sheep? If only all these chickens would stop clucking and getting underfoot... Stylised illustrations create texture and movement, working to weave a vivid world for readers to explore.

Peta James grew up in rural Australia, and as a child her friends were the family cows, dogs, cats and chickens. Now that she's (sort of) an adult, she writes stories about animals and their adventures. Peta can't go for a walk without stopping to say hello to every dog and cat she meets - because animals are people too! Lucy the Sheep Dog is Peta's first children's book
