K-Gr 1—In this barnyard romp, the sheep is a prankster and his unsuspecting farm fellows fall victim to his April Fools' jokes. He tampers with the rooster's alarm clock, bakes a cardboard cake for Pig, and plays connect-the-dots with poor Cow's spots. When the horse slyly offers Sheep a haircut to help cool him off, the sheep's the one who's fooled. It's the animals' turn to yell, "April Fools" when his new 'do turns out to be a buzz cut of the poodle variety. Those looking for a book of harmless pranks to share with a young audience will appreciate Wright's simple rhyming text and Rátz de Tagyos's colorful, comedic illustrations.—Jenna Boles, Greene County Public Library, OH
