Description
Eduardo Guadardo may look fluffy. He may look cute. But he's no little lamb. He's about to graduate from the FBI-that's the Fairytale Bureau of Investigations-as an Elite Sheep. He knows five forms of kung fu, and he can outfox the foxiest of foxes. In fact, he's so good they put him on his own case: to keep the farmer's daughter, Mary, safe from Wolf, Troll, and Witch. It's a job for somebody baaaaaaad-someone like a soon-to-be Elite Sheep. The thing is, protecting Mary isn't quite as easy as Eduardo expected... This imaginary backstory for "Mary Had a Little Lamb" is hilarious, action-packed, and filled with subterfuge (that means pulling the wool over your eyes, for you civilians).
About the Author
Anthony Pearson is not a spy. He's not. We promise. He's actually a school counselor, a child therapist, and the author of Baby Bear Eats the Night, illustrated by Bonnie Leick. But that didn't stop him from digging for clues about "Mary Had a Little Lamb." What he found made him imagine what could have inspired the rhyme: a sheep that is totally, absolutely, 100 percent in control of things ... or maybe just 95 percent. And squirrels in sunglasses. Oh, and a witch flying a helicopter. But you didn't hear about the Fairytale Bureau of Investigations from him. Anthony and his family live in deep cover in Georgia.

Reviews
"This is a zany adventure with vivid cartoon characters and a multitude of jokes on every page. Perhaps there will be more adventures for the Elite Sheep. The premise is a promise of more to come." -New York Journal of Books "I love a good fractured fairy tale, and Eduardo Guadardo fits the bill!" -Mom Read It "The story offers a life lesson even for the youngest of readers." -Sincerely Stacie "Original, creative, and such fun!" -Mrs. Mommy Booknerd's Book Reviews "Quirky, silly, and hilariously clever...Parents and teachers will get a kick out of this story." -Kristi's Book Nook "What a fun and quite smart idea! I didn't know that I ever wondered how Mary got her lamb, but this backstory is one epic way for that nursery rhyme to come about!" -Unleashing Readers
