If I Had a Sheep

Mick Inkpen, Mike Inkpen. Little Brown and Company, $7.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-316-41888-1

The ``what if'' implied in each of these titles is playfully executed; for the girl who imagines life with a sheep, and for the boy who imagines life with a pig, the days would be full indeed. Baths together until they are both wrinkly, or chasing leaves, or playing grown-upsthe gleeful but basic notion behind these two books is that a sheep or a pig would be a grand friend to share things with. Comic watercolors depict the wish-filled antics. Ages 2-6. (September)
