No toddler has ever precipitated more mayhem then these five insouciant sheep, now stopping at the quaint ""Tiddley Wink Tea Shop,"" which is run by an unsuspecting cat. They don't understand the menu, and when ""Sheep get soup. Sheep scoop. Sheep slurp. Sheep burp."" With the inadvertent addition of pepper, bad manners give way to pure slapstick--adroitly chronicled in Apple's comical, ingenuous illustrations--until they're turned out to make a delightful discovery: ""Sheep crunch. Sheep munch. The lawn is what they want for lunch."" A deft, succinct, charming as ever fifth appearance.
