Book summary: the animals on farmer John’s farm inform him that something is wrong. Sweat Pea the sheep was feeling sick and so Farmer John calls the vet to come look at her. The vet determines she is sick and that she needs rest and antibiotics to make her feel better. Sweat Pea is promised a sleepover with all of her farm friends as soon as she gets better. When she finally recovers, Sweet Pea has the night of her life with all of her friends from the farm.

Critical Analysis: This book is a great read! It encourages readers to always be there for the ones you love. What really blew me away were the illustrations. They were mixed with drawings and real life pictures of the same animals. That is something unique that is not always seen in books. Readers of all ages would enjoy this book!
