Sheep in a Shop

Reach for this book when your child is starting to notice how stores work or when they need a lighthearted way to process a chaotic moment. While the rhyming text is short and snappy, it opens up a great door for discussing the basics of shopping, choosing gifts, and what happens when we do not have quite enough money for everything we want. The story follows a group of well-meaning but clumsy sheep who head to a shop to find the perfect birthday present. It captures the frantic energy of a toddler in a store, moving from the excitement of picking items to the realization of a budget. It is a wonderful choice for parents who want to teach social responsibility and problem-solving through humor rather than a lecture.
