Jacqueline Harvey (text) and Kate Isobel Scott (illustrator), Kevin Saves the Show, Puffin Books, August 2024, 32 pp., RRP $17.99 (hbk), ISBN 9781761048968
Perhaps it’s because I married a shearer, but picture books featuring sheep have a special place in my heart. In this colourful new title from passionate storyteller, Jacqueline Harvey, Kevin hosts a karaoke singing contest for all the farm animals. Although their singing, dancing and harmonising impresses the judges, it’s the new sheep in the flock who blows away the competition with his hidden talent. But something else is being concealed … until a wardrobe malfunction reveals all.
Kids ages 3+ will love this fun rhyming sequel to Kevin the Sheep, illustrated again by the talented Kate Isobel Scott, the author’s former student.
