Giveaway!

One lucky winner will receive a copy of Eduardo Guadardo, Elite Sheep, courtesy of Two Lions (U.S. addresses).

Anthony Pearson is not a spy. He's not. We promise. He's actually a school counselor, a child therapist, and the author of Baby Bear Eats the Night, illustrated by Bonnie Leick. But that didn't stop him from digging for clues about "Mary Had a Little Lamb." What he found made him imagine what could have inspired the rhyme: a sheep that is totally, absolutely, 100 percent in control of things … or maybe just 95 percent. And squirrels in sunglasses. Oh, and a witch flying a helicopter. But you didn't hear about the Fairytale Bureau of Investigations from him. Anthony and his family live in deep cover in Georgia. Get more intel about him at www.AnthonyPearson.info.

Review:

Eduardo Guadardo is graduating from the Fairy-Tale Bureau of Investigations (FBI). He is not Mary’s little lamb, but an Elite Sheep and he is getting his first assignment. His job is to protect Mary from the Witch, Wolf and Troll. The only problem with protecting Mary is that she is a bit active. She skis on the water, flies through the air, and even goes to school.  Eduardo is having a hard time keeping up. Other agents ask if they can assist but he always says no. But when Mary wants to leave the school and the villains are close by Eduardo asks for help to keep her in the school and to keep her safe. Suddenly, a big reveal happens, and Eduardo finds out that keeping an eye on Mary was just a test. Do you think Eduardo passed? Will he become an Elite Sheep?

This fun spin from the song Mary Had A Little Lamb is quirky, silly and hilariously clever. Young readers will love the images of various animals resembling security agents around the premises and reading about the FBI jargon. Parents and teachers will get a kick out of this story and can use it to discuss fairy tales, sing the song and what they could do as an FBI agent.
