The Baabaasheep Quartet by Leslie Elizabeth Watts is a wonderful story about four friends who retire to the city, form a quartet, and win a singing contest. These friends are sheep, and everyone knows that sheep sing beautifully. This book was a 2006 Shining Willow Award nominee. It was my personal favourite of the nominees, though it was not the winner. The library even put on a performance where four members of the Swift Current Chamber Singers came and acted out the story, finishing off the performance by singing some Barbershop Quartet repertoire. This book has the right balance of a moral message and a fun story, and I'd recommend it to anyone. Remember, you can borrow this book, and many others at Swift Current Public Library.
