Move over, mice, we have sheep! Wild, a bighorn sheep Bighorn sheep a tall (up to 3 ft), heavy (up to 300 lb body weight) wild sheep that lives in inaccessible mountain country where it exercises its principal achievement of prodigious leaping and climbing. Called also Ovis canadensis. Several regional varieties, e.g. O. c. , and Woolly, a ranch sheep, meet by chance and are curious about each other and what it must be like where the other lives. Eagerly, they show each other what is best about their homes, an experience the reader will enjoy through the delightful illustrations and dialogue. Wild and Woolly decide that the grass isn't always greener on the other side and decide to meet later somewhere neutral--the woods. Ages 4-8.
