The nice thing about this series of books is that children learn not only the language, but also things about farm life. In this one for example, they learnt that sheep dogs can be called by whistling! And they were really impressed!

Patch is The Silly Sheepdog in a cute book about a farm and the family living on the farm. Patch is a Sheepdog and his previous owner trained him to whistle commands. When the previous owner and the new owner meet and share this information Patch is no longer The Silly Sheepdog. This is an excellent book to teach small children about life on the farm and the advantage of having a Sheepdog to control the sheep.
