Right from the off I could see this as being a perfect film pitch for Aardman Animations - Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and all that lot. It would be right up the street for their audience, with perfect family friendly fun, such a similar poise and wit, and such free-flowing exuberant action. I see the publishers have put a 9+ badge onto my copy, but I can't see a problem with those younger lapping this up - as I am perfectly happy to admit I did.
At the last gasp of 2009 I find possibly my children's title of the year. It's a pity it won't be in the High Street til March 2010, with the sequel even further on from there. But this is so joyous, I'm sure the wait will be baaaa-rely noticed.
I must thank Egmont's kind people for my review copy.
For further woolly reads, you might like [[Derek the Sheep by Gary Northfield]].
