Book Review - Sheepology - By Ilaria Demonti - Publication Date: 25 April 2023


 It was very interesting to learn more than just the regular basics about sheep.  The general habits of sheep, transhumance of sheep; their caretakers: shepherds, dogs and donkeys; what can be "harvested" from sheep:  eg. wool, milk and its by-products such as cheese; the plethora of breeds and their origins and so much more, were all encapsulated in this one volume.

Although the book states this non-fiction, educational work is targeted at children ages 6-10, the explanations are rather detailed so I feel the older side of that scale is more likely the readership to benefit.  Readers who believe in a young earth may take exception to some of the datings given, is one caution I have with the book.

All in all, together with the great illustrations and labelings, this chidlren's book could be well worth the investment, especially as, perhaps, a home education resource for science class - in my opinion, at least.  This is NOT, a ba-a-a-d book.
